Hey there, Jill, and welcome to planDisney!
The Walt Disney World Resort is home to some amazing animals, and I'm not just talking about Disney ducks and anthropomorphic mice named Mickey and Minnie. If seeing animals up close is on your wishlist, I've got just the thing for you.
Kilimanjaro Safaris is a must-do every single time I'm in Animal Kingdom. Rolling through the wilds of the Harambe Wildlife Reserve will give you up-close looks at the great wonders of Africa like lions, giraffes, elephants, painted dogs, and so much more. For an even closer look at a few of them, one amazing
Enchanting Extra is the
Wild Africa Trek, where a guide takes you on a special tour to see some of them from special viewing spots and have a bit of lunch.
Pro-tip: If you want to keep in time with the animal theme of your adventure, I'd definitely recommend booking a stay at
Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge. A safari view room is beyond magical. Nothing beats drinking your coffee on your balcony while watching a giraffe meander across the savanna.
Jill, I hope all your dreams of animal encounters come true. If you have any other questions, please feel free to
come back for another chat!Happy planning!
