Kilimanjaro Safaris
Kilimanjaro Safaris is in Africa at Disney's Animal Kingdom. You ride with a guide in an open safari truck through the Harambe Wildlife Reserve, home to more than 30 species of animals across some 110 acres (about 45 hectares) of plains, forests and wetlands.
The concept
Your driver-guide points out the animals and tells you all sorts about them. The trip takes about 18 minutes. The animals roam freely in a setting that resembles the African savannah.
The Experience
You might see a hippo in a pond, a lion on a rock or a giraffe feeding from the trees. You may also come across rhinos, cheetahs, crocodiles, elephants, wild dogs and zebras. Every trip is different, because the animals decide for themselves where they are.

Camera ready
The animals do whatever they like. Keep your camera handy, because you never know what you'll see.
Different every time
No two safaris are the same. Try going once in the morning and once later in the day.
Lightning Lane
This attraction is part of Lightning Lane Multi Pass, which lets you choose a time slot in advance and skip the regular queue. You buy passes in the My Disney Experience app; according to Disney, visitors from Europe can only do this after arriving in the US.
Visitor information
There is no height requirement: everyone can ride. Children under 7 must be accompanied by someone aged 14 or over. Pregnant women and people with heart, back or neck problems, high blood pressure or motion sickness are advised not to ride. Wheelchair users can stay in their wheelchair in an adapted truck.
