Kilimanjaro Safaris is a staple at Animal Kingdom. The experience takes guests on an 18-minute tour of the Harambe Wildlife Reserve. 

Here, guests can encounter a variety of animals. During the ride, they might spot lions, giraffes, zebras, hippos, warthogs, rhinos, giraffes, okapi, and dozens of other species of threatened and endangered animals.

Part of the beauty of the attraction is that no two tours are ever exactly alike! The time of day, weather, and unpredictable animal behaviors can affect what you see each time. At times the Cast Members are just as surprised as the guests as they journey through the safari.

Unexpected Traffic Jam

Many guests visiting the Disney Parks make detailed touring plans to enjoy fun attractions, enjoy entertainment, meet their favorite characters, and enjoy great dining locations. At times attractions may break down or have unexpected delays. Typically attractions resume, but at times ride evacuations take place. 

These are occasional, but over at Kilimanjaro Safari, delays may happen more frequently. Be sure to check out tips before your next trip aboard the Kilimanjaro Safari HERE.

As many Disney Animal Kingdom guests may recall a group of rhinos is called a “crash.” As we set out on a Kilimanjaro Safari, we encountered a “crash” when a group of rhinos crossed our path.

The animals are always free to openly roam in the Harambe Wildlife Reserve. We simply took in the views of this beautiful crash of rhinoceroses.

The Kilimanjaro Safari is unique every time, and this was a great reason for a traffic jam. We enjoyed seeing the newest baby rhino, Ranger, in this “crash”. Ranger is now two years old and so much fun!
