SPOTLIGHT ON: Kilimanjaro Safaris

Jambo! Welcome to Disney's fourth Central Florida gate Animal Kingdom.

At this huge, well designed park you will find what I think is the best attraction in the park, the Kilimanjaro Safaris.

You board huge jeeps for this 2 week trek into Harambe Reserve (well it really is only 30 minutes or so not two weeks, but we can imagine right). This ride is not on a track and not automated, your drive/tour guide/lion tamer actually drives the jeep trough this 100 acre attraction.

100 acres, you can fit the entire Magic Kingdom into the Kilimanjaro Safari with room to spare, that is how big this attraction is.

Your driver will point out various wildlife around every turn, from Rhinos, to Giraffes to Thomson Gazelle. All right there to for you to see. You pass by pride rock where you can steal a glimpse of the King and Queen of the jungle the Kopje Lions.

But there is a story in this ride also. The ranger of the Reserve is worried about poachers and needs your help finding them. Part of this ride will take you over rickety bridges, and zoomin g past pools filled with Crocks, and not to spoil it, but you save the day!

Do not miss this what ever you do. It is worth admission just to see this very well done attraction. You really feel like your in Africa, and you feel like the animals have the run of the place. But the only downfall is that the Lions are hard to see, because they spend 23 hours of the day sleeping. So ride it a few times and maybe you will get lucky. Many times people are just happy to see a tail wagging or a foot sticking up.
