12 Secrets for Kilimanjaro Safaris in Animal Kingdom:
- Look up during the ride. There is a chart of the animals located above your head to make it easy to identify them!
- Make sure you seat your kids on the inside. This will keep them from reaching out and touching the vegetation that comes very close to the vehicle.
- Sit on the outside of the row if you plan to take pictures.
- Flamingo Pond is shaped like Mickey.
- The safari sometimes closes earlier than the rest of the park. Be sure to check for the last safari ride time of the day.
- The animals are the most active early in the morning, but if you can time your ride just after a rain storm you might see more activity.
- Each species of animal in AK have their own sound that they are trained to come back to be fed when they hear it played over the loudspeakers.
- The lions stay on Pride Rock on the Safari ride because there are holes in it and they push cold air thru it.
- The Kilimanjaro Safaris is 110-acres and has 34 different species of African wildlife.
- The best seat in the ride vehicle is the back row. You can turn around and look at any animals you might have missed.
- Each animal has a special auditory signal that will call them backstage to the keepers. Sounds include duck calls, cow bells and even a triangle.
- The Baobab trees on the safari are not real. The trunks are used to store necessary gear including extra feed and lawnmowers.
