The Animals at Disney’s Animal Kingdom 9/#100DaysOfDisney
Home » Everything Disney »
I shared Nature & Wildlife around Walt Disney World yesterday, and today I’m sharing some of my photos of the animals that you can see at the park. Most of them are on the Kilimanjaro Safaris ride…
Glimpse real animals in their natural habitats during an 18-minute expedition into the Harambe Wildlife Reserve. Traipse along a twisting path amid a lush garden gateway and make your way to the rendezvous point of Kilimanjaro Safaris expedition, the touring company for your adventure into the wilds. Featuring picturesque open plains, shady forest landscapes and rocky wetlands, the 110-acre Harambe Wildlife Reserve is a spectacular sanctuary dedicated to the protection of African animals. – Walt Disney World Website
It is one of my personal favourite rides at Walt Disney World, and I love that it is never the same safari twice! It will depend on the time of day you are driven through the reserve, and how good your safari guide is at spotting and pointing out the animals!
Some animals you may encounter during the tour include:
Antelope, Mandrill, Black Rhino, Cheetah, Crocodile, Elephant, Flamingo, Gazelle, Giraffe, Hippopotamus, Lion, Okapis, Ostrich, Warthog, White Rhino, Wildebeest, Zebra
Be sure to keep your eyes open and have a camera ready! You never know what amazing animals you’ll see on a Kilimanjaro Safaris outing.
As well as the safari, there are other opportunities to see and even pet other animals! We’ve seen flamingoes, a giant anteater, various water birds, lemurs, macaws, a baby alligator (that my son petted!), a silverback gorilla (so handsome!) and baby gorilla too!
Have you been to Disney’s Animal Kingdom? What is your favourite animal there?

For me it is the giraffes. I am always taken back by their grace and elegance. Plus I have been lucky to capture some lovely photographs of the giraffes despite my rather rubbish camera skills… Any tips for taking better Disney pictures?

Giraffes are beautiful – we fed them at Busch Gardens on our first trip to Florida in 2011 – such an amazing experience! I wrote a post a couple years back with some Disney photography tips: https://www.thepurplepumpkinblog.co.uk/2014/08/pre-trip-report-snap-happy-dine-around-disney-2014.html I need to revisit that and write a new one – look out for it soon! xx

I was always fascinated by the anteater as you walk in the main entrance (think it is on the left), I know it is not the most exciting of animals but I still can’t get over how massive it is. I love the Animal Kingdom!

He’s quite elusive isn’t he? He is HUGE! I really didn’t realise how big anteaters were until I saw that one at AK! x
