Guide to Walt Disney World Theme Park Attractions

Kilimanjaro Safaris is a safari attraction at Disney's Animal Kingdom in Walt Disney World. It simulates an open-sided safari ride through the savanna of East Africa.
The current story is a short photo safari aboard a safari vehicle through the Harambe Wildlife Reserve in Harambe, East Africa. It is 800 square miles of natural terrain, including Ituri forest, wetlands of the Safi River valley, and the open bush country of the Serengeti Savanna.
African animals on view include real live elephants, giraffes, antelopes, springboks, crocodiles, mandrills, hippopotamuses, lions, cheetahs, hyenas, african wild dogs, warthogs, ostriches, rhinoceroses, storks, flamingos, wildebeests, okapis and zebras. The game driver points out animals and provides entertainment.
The zebras were removed four months after their arrival due to acclimation issues. Some reports claim that the zebras were fighting each other, biting at vehicles or each other, standing in the road, or just causing trouble. They were quickly replaced with addax.
