Kilimanjaro Safaris Wait Times

Animal Kingdom · Historical wait time data from 73007 data points

Board an open-air safari vehicle for an 18-minute journey through 110 acres of African savanna where real animals roam in naturalistic habitats. You'll potentially see giraffes, elephants, lions, rhinos, hippos, cheetahs, zebras, and dozens more species. No two rides are identical since the animals move freely throughout the habitat. A live Cast Member driver provides narration and points out wildlife. Early morning and late afternoon offer the best animal sightings. One of Animal Kingdom's must-do experiences and unlike anything else at Walt Disney World.
