Updated 10/29/18
Burudika Band

- Schedule: Character Locator
Dance along to the sounds of Africa with the Burudika Band. No need to arrive early.
Hear this vibrant African band composed of Harambe’s finest musicians, who fill the marketplace with lively, infectious rhythms of Afro-pop. “Burudika” is Swahili for “to be refreshed” so refresh, join the street party!
DiVine
Oasis – on right just past Stroller rentals
- Length of show: 20 minutes
- Seating: NONE
- Fastpass+: NO
- Schedule: Character Locator
DiVine is not your ordinary run-of-the-mill, ten-foot tall plant. In fact, DiVine is really performance artist Priscilla Blight who has brought her expressive talents to Disneys Animal Kingdom. Priscilla cleverly conceals herself in a towering, hand-made foliage costume. It is only when she moves that guests realize they are not looking at nature but at DiVine. DiVine does NOT sign autographs.
*Due to her excellent camoflauge she is very difficult to spot. It will help to see a Character Attendant standing on the trail.
- DiVine moves very slowly
- She is on stilts, so be careful moving around her
- She does not sign autographs, but is willing to pose for photos
Festival of the Lion King
Africa: Harambe Theater
- Length of show: 30 minutes
- Seating: Bench seating with no back support
- Fastpass+: YES
- Schedule: Character Locator
Many guests consider this show as their favorite show. It is a can’t miss among the shows. There is bright colorful costumes, daring aerialists, fantastic vocalists and the tumble monkeys!.
During busy seasons arrive at least 15-20 minutes early as the show is very popular.
You will be divided into 4 sections: the elephants, the giraffes, the warthogs and the lions. Ask the seating Cast Member if you wish to sit in a specific section. I also recommend shows later in the evening or use FP.
Finding Nemo the Musical
Theater in the Wild
- Length of show: 40 minutes

This is a Broadway quality production that will leave you thinking that all those original songs were actually in the movie, but they are not!
The puppets are activated by their actual performer who is singing each line. Lots of color, action and fun songs are sure to leave a smile on the face of everyone.
Arrive 15-30 minutes prior to the show during busy seasons or to choose the best seats.

Hi Kenny, which of these 2 shows would you recommend using my FP+ ? We want to see Lion King before or after lunch at Tusker (11AM or 2PM), and see Nemo's last show (at 4PM) I read that Nemo can seat 1500 ppl.
