Embark on an unforgettable journey through the heart of Africa – ride Kilimanjaro Safaris at Animal Kingdom in Walt Disney World.
Kilimanjaro Safaris is an edge-of-your-seat guided tour through the jungles and savannahs of the African wild, where you ride in a real field vehicle over rough terrain, through splashing puddles and over creaky bridges – while surrounded by real, living wild animals! There’s no fences or moats – just you, the truck and the thrilling excitement of up close and personal animal adventure.
Be sure to bring your digital and video cameras for the ultimate memento of your experience. Featured animals include: elephants, giraffes, hippos, rhinos, cheetahs – and, of course, the kings of the jungle: LIONS!
Gear up for the wildlife adventure of a lifetime – ride Kilimanjaro Safaris on your Walt Disney World vacation in Orlando.
