Africa

Board a jeep and ride through the African savanna on Kilimanjaro Safaris, pausing to look at zebras, lions, giraffes and more, all seemingly roaming free. This is one of the Animal Kingdom's most popular attractions, so come early or use your FastPass+.

Most of the park's live entertainment options are in Africa, including the long-running Festival of the Lion King, a song-and-dance performance based on the popular Disney animation set in its own theater.

The Gorilla Falls Exploration Trail passes gorillas, hippos, a great bat display and a hive of naked mole rats – nothing more than you'd find in any zoo, but those mole rats sure are cute.
