Animals in Their Natural Habitat

True to its name, Animal Kingdom is home to a plethora of animals. The Kilimanjaro Safaris©, for instance, offers a rugged, open-sided safari ride across the vast savannah, full of lions, elephants, giraffes, and other magnificent creatures. What's impressive is Disney's commitment to replicating the natural habitats of these animals, ensuring their well-being while providing guests with an authentic experience.

Maharajah Jungle Trek© and Gorilla Falls Exploration Trail allows visitors to walk at their own pace, observing animals in beautifully themed environments that educate while they entertain.

Thrilling Rides With A Touch Of Nature

Animal Kingdom doesn't skimp on the adrenaline. One of its most renowned rides is Expedition Everest. This roller coaster adventure simulates a trek up the Himalayas with a surprising twist involving the legendary Yeti. Pandora — The World of Avatar brings in two significant attractions: Avatar Flight of Passage , which simulates flying on the back of a banshee, and Na'vi River Journey, a serene boat ride showcasing the bioluminescent forests of Pandora.
