❋Animal Kingdom·Africa

Kilimanjaro Safaris

The headline attraction of Animal Kingdom and a legitimate wildlife encounter. The trucks roll through reproductions of Kenyan landscapes — wooded areas, savanna grasslands, water crossings — that house cheetahs, giraffes, zebras, ostriches, hippos, wildebeests, African painted dogs, lions, rhinos, and elephants. Animal sightings are weather and time-of-day dependent but consistently good first thing in the morning and again in the cooler late afternoon. The drivers narrate, the route is identical each ride, and the animal mix surprises you anyway.
