Kilimanjaro Safaris is a safari attraction at Disney’s Animal Kingdom on the Walt Disney World Resort property in Lake Buena Vista, Florida. It simulates an open-sided safari ride through the savanna of East Africa.

Model African wildlife safari
Music “Hapa Duniani” by the group African Dawn
Vehicle type Safari truck. Riders per vehicle 32
Duration 22:00. Propulsion Liquid propane

Long before the safari or even Walt Disney World opened, Walt Disney wanted to use real African animals for the river attraction Jungle Cruise at Disneyland. However, for several reasons, Audio-Animatronics replicas were placed instead.

The ride originally included a scripted portion where the safari truck – callsign “Simba-1” – would be contacted by a habitat warden and a scientist to hunt down poachers that had captured a mother elephant and her child – Big Red and Little Red, respectively. The poachers would have been captured at gunpoint by another cast member, a warden. This element of the attraction was eventually eliminated and replaced with scaring off the poachers after a pursuit.
