Pros: Everything.
Cons: Some animals you can't count on seeing each time (lions, mandrills, etc...).
Summary: Walt Disney World's Animal Kingdom theme park may be the youngest of the Florida parks, and it may currently have the fewest "must see" attractions, but it's well on its way to changing that perception. Sure, the Disney company has big plans in mind for ... read more

Pros: Lots of interesting animals, interesting scenery, photo opportunities, adventure story added, kid friendly.
Cons: It is not the real thing, bumpy, go to the bathroom before you go.
Summary: We didn't really come to Disney World to visit the Zoo or see a safari. We have plenty of Zoos and an 11 mile long safari back home in Texas. However, this is a fun safari which offers a lot of interesting sights, and it is a relaxing break from rides ... read more

Pros: A decent sized trip through Africa with many of their animals on display
Cons: If the animals aren't out, it won't be very fun.
Summary: Okay, true, on my first trip to Disney World, I wanted to do everything. But one of my absolute must do's was Kilimanjaro Safaris in the Animal Kingdom park. It was well worth a visit to the Animal Kingdom all by itself.I, ... read more

Pros: different every time, fantastic views of a wide variety of animals, long ride
Cons: long lines, ending a bit cheesy and contrived

Cons: Bone jarring ride, poor ride and waiting layout

Pros: Impressive landscape, all types of wildlife, massive size
Cons: Goofy storyline, rocky ride

Pros: The animals
Cons: That there is 50% chance you won't see anything
Summary: I have been going to the Animal Kingdom for years and I have to say the Safari ride is the best. It's located in Africa and is basically the main attraction at Animal Kingdom, so can be the busiest. I found that if you go in the early morning hours you ... read more

Pros: Great Photo Opportunity, Real Animals (Not the Jungle Cruise)
Cons: Again, Real Animals (they decide to make or break the attraction), Rough too!
Summary: Hello once again! Many people come to the park just to experience this attraction. I would have to say that this is probably one of the most popular rides in Animal Kingdom. However, there is always seems to be a huge line to get on it. The good thing ... read more

Pros: authentic feeling of an African safari
Cons: sometimes very long lines
Summary: You have to travel through Harambe to get to the safari in Animal Kingdom. Harambe has such an authentic feeling, that I had to remind myself a few times that I was in a theme park and not in Africa. The town is fashioned after Lamu, Kenya . There ... read more

Pros: It's a ride, it's an adventure, plus you might see animals
Cons: It's a little rough for my taste
Summary: We really enjoy the Safari every time we go. We have ridden it in the morning and in the evening. Always it's a little different. The premise is always the same, a conservation theme, but what you see is different.
The trucks tend to be ... read more

Pros: educational, fun
Cons: Rest of the park was a bit disappointing
Summary: This spectacular safari at Disney's Animal Kingdom is probably as close as most people will get to an African safari. It certainly was for our family. And the pictures we brought home are almost as exciting.
