The popular Harambe Market quick-service location will be closed through the end of the year as the venue undergoes a refurbishment. The venue is likely receiving some back-of-house kitchen upgrades as it prepares to serve family-favorite dishes such as burgers and chicken strips next year. Here’s more on the changes.
Harambe Market Closed for Refurbishment
Harambe Market is now closed for refurbishment, as work begins to enable the location to begin serving family-favorite dishes such as burgers and chicken strips. With Restaurantosaurus set to close February 2nd (final day of operation Feb. 1st), guests will be looking for a new spot to grab an easy lunch or dinner. Enter: Harambe Market.
We love Harambe Market for the bowls and salads that they serve. That said, Disney’s Animal Kingdom will need a large dining venue to be able to support the guest palate that demands burgers and chicken strips.
Harambe Market will reopen sometime in early 2026, ahead of the closure of Restaurantosaurus with the new menu items.
Fans of the Harambe Market fare can find select items at the nearby Kusafiri Bakery. Kusafiri Bakery will be open for lunch, serving items like the Harambe Chicken Rice Bowl, as well as a plant-based Picadillo Rice Bowl and a Harissa Chicken Wrap.
