Very fun ride...we got to see some of the animals; but definitely go in the morning. (at rope drop, head right whenever everyone and their mother is heading left to go to Pandora). The driver talked really fast, so was hard to hear her at times; but we got the jist of it. Fun ride
Pros:
Fun ride, get to see alot of the animalsCons:

If you've been on a park safari ride before you may think this one should be skipped, but this one is next level... you don't notice the fences and barriers so it seems that the animals are in their natural habitat.
Pros:
The closest you'll get to a real safari experience outside of Africa, tour guides are funny.Cons:
Animals can be unpredictable and often aren't as active during the day, also the limited hours for this attraction can be frustrating.Reviewed by Anonymous Review Date: 11/24/2022

Kilimanjaro Safaris is just an all-around incredible feat.
Firstly, the ride experience is simply tons of fun. Being able to go on a “safari” and get to see life animals in carefully designed habitats and environments that suit their needs and habits? *Chef’s kiss*
Then, the fact that there is a central thread of conservation in the safari narrative as you ride through, as well as an opportunity to learn something new each time you ride (I know I do)?
*Double chef’s kiss*
And THEN the work that the cast members who care for the animals, maintain their homes, and work with global conservation organizations and support animal populations around the world?
*Triple chef’s kiss*
I don’t know why this chef is kissing so much, but to keep it from being weird, I will say simply this: Kilimanjaro Safaris is a treasure for Disney World and a true testament to the wonderful impact the company can have as well as their talent for creating immersive experiences for park guests.
Side-note: I know that one of the complaints people have about this ride is that you might go on one day and not see the animals they wanted to because the animals are asleep/elsewhere/whatever other reason. I get the disappointment this may cause, but honestly it is something that makes the experience all the more incredible. Disney doesn’t want to create a circus that will just put all the action up front regardless of how it affects the animals. They are aiming for authenticity and conservation here, so I would argue that is WAY better.
Pros:
Live animals in curated environments Learn new things every time! Conservation theme Supports awareness and advocacy for the animals involvedCons:
Truly, not really anything I think is a legitimate critiqueReviewed by AmberStout Review Date: 06/14/2022

This ride depends on your driver! The first time we rode it I would’ve said 10/10 but the second driver was so boring and monotones that I would’ve said 5/10. The animals are fun to see and it gets you off of your feet for about 15 mins.
Pros:
Animals Rest your feet So much fun when you have a great driverCons:
Boring drivers suck all the fun out of itReviewed by Anonymous Review Date: 04/21/2022
