Read MoreSongkran Boats

It is the celebration of the New Year, a time when the rivers flood, bringing new life to the fields and allowing the crops to grow.

We had so much fun during the workshop, singing 'I just Can't Wait to be King', learning to talk like Zazu and being part of the wildebeest stampede.

We are so grateful to them for coming especially to RAPS and can't wait to see them perform at the show on Wednesday
