- SRShanice Roebuck1 day ago5.0This is a must do even if you don’t go to animal kingdom. Best animal experience of my life.
- GVGinger Viajes (Ginger Viajes)1 day ago5.0Fue una experiencia increíble!! Parece mentira que se puedan ver animales sin vallas de por medio como leones. Es la forma mas cómoda de hacer un safari.
- GRGary RosierDec 30, 20255.0Animal Kingdom at Disney is always one of our first stops! Avatar next. We enjoy seeing the animals close up, just like a real safari! Always lots of animals to see!
- KKKumikoDec 29, 20255.0Kilimanjaro Safaris is one of those attractions that has stayed with me since childhood. The first time I rode it, I remember being genuinely amazed—some of the views felt straight out of The Lion King. Because Walt Disney World isn’t a place I get to visit often, this is always a “must-do” for me. I rode it twice on my most recent trip, and both times the lions were… sleeping 😄 (which is apparently very normal—Cast Members even mention that lions sleep most of the day). That honestly made me appreciate my childhood memory even more, because back then I saw a lion awake and standing up on a rocky ledge—and I remember someone saying how rare that was. Now I get it! What I love most about this safari is that every ride is different. You can’t predict what the animals will do, and that unpredictability is part of the magic. I found myself taking photos the whole time, just enjoying the little surprises. It’s such a cool experience—like a mini African safari adventure, right in Florida. Highly recommend, especially if you enjoy wildlife and great photo moments.
