AK safari

I know from previous posts that the best time to do the safari is the morning when the animals are more visible but what if that's not an option because of our ADR?

Booked breakfast at Tuskers at 9.25 ( rookie mistake - I know that now!)

What about later in the day for safari? What time do the animals start showing their faces again?

Failing that I might try and get to AK for rope drop another day just to do safari then move to another park.

Close to sunset would be the next best time. But if you got to the park before 9 (I'd say 8:15-8:30) you could potentially RD Safari and then head straight to your ADR. Most people will be heading to Pandora for RD so you should get through the ride pretty quickly. The TH entrance is basically next to the safari anyway, so you'd only be a few minutes late if anything.

Keep an eye out for later dining times becoming available as well. Particularly around now as off-site people book their FPs so then cancel ADRs that don't line up.

We are struggling to work out the best way to do safari too, can't get a fp, have a 9.30am reservation at tusker house so this early morning tactic may work for us too. Maybe a silly question but when park opening is given as 9am when do they actually open gates? Do gates open before and then rides at 9am, so we could potentially be at the safari waiting at 9am? Thanks

Disney magic ensures the animals are visible all day and even in the evening!

Seems to depend on the CMs, and how many people are in the queues already. But typically the tapstiles should open around 15 minutes before. You may be held around the Tree of Life area for a bit before they open up the lands though, like how MK holds people at the Hub.

Theoretically you should be able to get to the safari around 9 though.
