I have given tips in the past for photographing on the Kilimanjaro Safari in Disney’s Animal Kingdom. One tip I forgot to mention was to be ready for anything. The animals appear seemingly from out of nowhere at times. On my last safari, the jeep came around the bend onto to the savanna just as a group of giraffes were crossing the road in front of us. The guide had to stop for a bit for them to clear. As he did so, the two yearling giraffes in the group broke into a graceful gallop which I was quick enough to photograph.

If it is not too busy, ask to be seated in the very last row by yourself. You can slide from side to side and out the back to maximize your opportunities for photographing the animals. I must caution you the last row is the bumpiest one on the jeeps so crank up those shutter speeds!
