Kilimanjaro Safaris

Disney’s Animal Kingdom Theme Park may tout itself as not being a zoo, but the Kilimanjaro Safaris are the closest thing to a zoological experience that visitors will encounter in Central Florida. This adventure through 100 acres of re-created African terrain allows guests at the Walt Disney World Resort to come face-to-face with wild animals with no barriers, just as one would find of a real safari!

Just as with all attractions at the Disney Parks, the Kilimanjaro Safaris is elaborately themed, with real plants and landscaping that replicate that of an African savanna. The entire experience, from the 32-passenger all-terrain vehicle guests ride in to the rocky and bumpy path that Disney man made, is meant to transport guests to a whole other world, just as Walt Disney intended for all of the attractions at the four Walt Disney World Resort theme parks.

Upon boarding the Kilimanjaro Safaris, guests embark upon their journey through the Harambe Wildlife Reserve in Harambe, Africa. Each vehicle is ushered through your adventure by your tour guide, who not only drives you through the course but also has extensive knowledge on all of the animals on the reserve and points them out along the way. To add to the excitement of the attraction, your tour guide is in constant contact with a reserve warden who is flying overhead and warns you not far into the attraction that poachers have been spotted. So, after you continue along your way, spotting exotic animals such as giraffes, zebras, rhinos, elephants, crocodiles, lions, hippos and more, your adventure concludes with a raucous race to try to stop these illegal poachers.

The best time to visit the Kilimanjaro Safaris to see the widest array of wildlife is during the morning hours as the animals are roaming freely. If you go on this ride during the afternoon, the animals are likely to be taking a nap or seeking refuge in the shade from the harsh Florida heat. Another way to experience this attraction at the best time possible is by taking advantage of Disney’s Fastpass Service, a system that allows guests to get a ticket for a certain attraction, which then indicates a time period during which they can come back and bypass the standby line to better utilize their time in the parks.
