Africa

Africa is the largest “land” within Animal Kingdom and it is centered around the town of Harambe. The buildings of Harambe are all based on actual African buildings. Everyone here calls out “Jambo!”, which means “Hello” in Swahili (a language spoken throughout Africa).   

Africa has two major attractions.

Kilamanjaro Safari—this ride imitates actual safaris in Africa. We will ride in an open air jeep and travel through the wild looking for animlas. We will see things like rhinoceroses, giraffes, elephants, and lions. While on the safari, we need to look for a baby elephant who was stolen by poachers! 

Pangani Forest Exploration Trail—After we leave the safari, we will encounter the entrance to the Pangani Forest Exploration Trail. This trail is a lot like the Maharaja Jungle Trek. However, instead of seeing Asian animals, we will see animals from Africa. We will see gorillas, hippos, and naked mole-rats! There is a huge pond with brightly colored fish as well!
