At The Mara, Guests can treat themselves to Chocolate Mousse with a cardamom financier. While not exclusive to the 50th anniversary, the Mara is also a great place to pick up zebra domes if you do not have time to stop for breakfast or dinner at Boma! You can find them right in the grab-and-go section.

Sanaa is offering their own version of chocolate mousse- The African Triple-Chocolate Mousse is made with dark chocolate from Ghana, milk chocolate from Madagascar, blond chocolate from France, chocolate-almond biscuit, and strawberries. The mousse is available during lunch and dinner and is a great way to add a little something special for your own celebration while visiting during “The Most Magical Shape on Earth.” Maybe you’ll even see the baby zebra that was recently born at Animal Kingdom Lodge on the savanna!
