Harambe Market with New Menu Items

Harambe Market at Disney’s Animal Kingdom just leveled up its menu, and if you love bold, African-inspired street food, this one’s for you. The counter-service spot in the Africa section of the park reopened in February 2026 after a refresh, and now it’s rolling out new items that fans have been asking for. If Harambe Market menu changes are on your radar for your next trip, here’s everything you need to know before you walk up to the counter.

Quick Summary

  • Harambe Market has added a new Tanzanian Meat Pie for $13.49
  • Two new sides joined the lineup: a Fruit Cup ($3.99) and Seasoned Kettle Chips ($4.99)
  • No existing menu items were removed or changed
  • The new items complement the existing burger, chicken, and wrap options
  • Harambe Market reopened in February 2026 after being closed for a refresh

What’s New at Harambe Market

The headline addition is the Tanzanian Meat Pie, priced at $13.49. It’s African-spiced beef and lamb wrapped in naan bread, then topped with kachumbari and tzatziki. Kachumbari is a fresh, tomato-and-onion salad you’ll find across East African cooking, and it adds a sharp, tangy contrast to the richness of the spiced meat. The tzatziki cools things down even more, so you get a plate that balances heat, spice, and freshness in every bite.

You don’t build a Disney meal on protein alone, so Harambe Market rounded out the order with two new sides. The Fruit Cup runs $3.99 and gives you a lighter option if you’re saving room for a Dole Whip later in the day. The Seasoned Kettle Chips are $4.99 and bring a savory, crunchy option that pairs well with the Tanzanian Meat Pie or any of the existing entrees.

What Stayed the Same

Disney didn’t touch the rest of the menu. Your favorite burger, chicken, and wrap options are all still there, which means the new items are true additions, not replacements. That’s good news if you already have a go-to order at Harambe Market. You can stick with what you know and simply add the Tanzanian Meat Pie or a new side to try something different on this trip.

Why Harambe Market Matters on Your Animal Kingdom Day

Harambe Market sits in the Africa area of Disney’s Animal Kingdom, right near the Africa section of Kilimanjaro Safaris and Gorilla Falls Exploration Trail. It’s counter service, which makes it a smart lunch stop if you’re trying to keep moving through the park instead of sitting down for a full table-service meal. The open-air marketplace setting also fits the theming of the area, so you get food that matches the environment around you.

Animal Kingdom doesn’t have as many quick-service options as some of the other Disney World parks, so a strong counter-service spot like Harambe Market pulls real weight. Adding a new entree and two sides gives returning guests a reason to stop back in, even if they’ve eaten there before.

Tips for Ordering at Harambe Market

Mobile order is available at Harambe Market through the My Disney Experience app, and I’d recommend using it if you’re visiting during a busy season. It saves you from standing in line during peak lunch hours between 11:30am and 1:30pm. If you want to try the new Tanzanian Meat Pie, order it fresh rather than mobile ordering too far ahead, since the naan wrap is best when it hasn’t been sitting for a while.

Seating at Harambe Market is open-air and can fill up fast during busy park days. If you’re traveling with a larger group, consider splitting up to grab tables while others order, then regroup once everyone has their food.

Final Thoughts

The updated Harambe Market menu gives Animal Kingdom guests one more reason to eat in the Africa area during their next visit. The Tanzanian Meat Pie stands out as the item to try first, and the two new sides round out a meal that was already one of the more underrated counter-service stops at Disney World. Next time you’re planning your Animal Kingdom day, pencil in a stop at Harambe Market and see what the fuss is about.
