Get a fast pass as early as you can, you'll avoid the heat and get to see all the animals, hopefully. This safari is extremely magnificent and the ride itself will always surprise you❤️

Andrew Couldwell

Amazing! Unexpectedly great! The vehicle drives on a road , not a track , so it doesn’t feel like a theme park ride . Really nice to see the animals have more freedom to roam.

Social News Network

If you're visiting the Animal Kingdom make this your first stop. If you arrive early in the morning you won't have long to wait, but if you arrive in the afternoon, be sure to get a fast pass .

Noel Clarke

The secret is going first thing in the morning when the park opens. you will see all the animals and it won't be too hot. Also the animals seem to have a good amount of space to roam, which is good.

Slightly Perfect

Best pictures. Sometimes the animals come right up to the vehicles. It's an awesome experience for any kid (and adult!).

Diana Sanborn

One of the best attractions at WDW. If you have time, definitely ride more than once because different animals are active at different times. No two safari rides are the same!

Andrea Wells

Have your cameras ready and on the sports or action setting. The ride vehicles do not stop so be prepared.

Jake Smith

Hold on tight! This bumpy ride is awesome for people of all ages.

Sean Miller

This was pretty cool! Tons of animals to see during the ride. The line moved pretty fast too (even without a fastpass )

Dan Sohayda

If your camera has a strap use it! The ride is very bouncy in and you can easily drop it. They do say to let them know if you do and they can retrieve it though, but don't be that guy or gal!

Laur Lo Ski

This ride is awesome, they don't pack you in, and you get to see Lions, Giraffes, Rhinos and Elephants about as close up as you're gonna get apart from a real African Safari!

Omarr Cantu

I used to work here so I am a little partial, but I love safaris! Make sure and sit near the side of the truck for the best view and stay ahead of the driver by spotting the animals first.

Twanda Carney Davis

This safari made me feel like I was I was in the jungle. The guide was interesting. The views were great. He kept me excited

Gina Sanchez

This ride is AMAZING! If you can do it at least twice at different points in your day, you won't regret it because you'll have a different experience each time

Brandie Neal

Love this ride. I make sure to go every time we come to animal kingdom. Definitely need a fast pass for this one.

LF

Definitely the best part of Animal Kingdom, alongside the thrilling rides . Disney was on point when making the place just like a real safari.

Tammy

Try to sit on the left side. There is more to see on that side. Elephants and giraffes can be seen to your right, but that's basically it.

Lisa Reynolds

Every safari is different and the guides do a great job of getting you in the best viewing spots. Go early to see the most animals.

Angie B.

Got on around 10am and ALL the animals were out and either eating or sunning. We've been on this several times over the years - this has been THE best time so far.

Dave Mc

A much welcomed sit in the shade while seeing cool animals!

Jason H.

Really fun safari with lots of animals all around.

Suzanne Lea F.

We got to see the new baby rhino however the mom and the other adult rhinos were not happy that our jeep was so close. We had to wait until they moved out of the road . Just a little intense.

MaCe Padilla

Awesome safari trip! Loved the rhinos, giraffes and elephants. Don't miss it.

Scott Scheirer

A Great ride but get there early or get a fast pass . Line gets long very fast. Saw lots of animals and the guides are very knowledgeable .

Faye Gamboa

Best views were on the right for our ride, but no two safari trips are the same. Try getting the back seat! Bumpiest ride but you'll get some last-second photos if they drive too fast!!

Mike Seilback

Giraffes, lions, hippos, zebra, antelope and more. Well worth the time to check it out!

Patricio Arrangoiz

Worth the wait time, loved to see animals as close as possible to their natural habitat. Hope these animals are treated with dignity

Mike

Extremely bumpy from driving over rough terrain but seeing all the animals is a wonderful experience!

The Transit Navigator

Jambo! and welcome to the Harambe Wildlife Reserve ! Get ready for your week-long journey through Africa on an amazing safari! Have your camera out for photos, and listen to radio alerts for Simba One!

Adam Bulmer

Educational experience that lasts about 20 minutes. You’ll get to see some African wildlife but bring a long a water bottle, you’re going to get hot.

Allison Jones

Did you know that you can see the lions almost anytime of the year on the safari. They have their own air-conditioning/heating unit, so guests get a great view of the lions when it is cold or hot! Read more

Bob Raichle

One of our favorite attractions at WDW. Although some of it is familiar, the safari is never the same trip, twice.

Jackie Steele

I hit this first thing in the AM when the animals are most-active. I usually get a FastPass right at opening then ride standby anyway, the use my FP to ride again almost immediately.

Matthew Perosi

Every trip is different and you never know where the animals will be. There are 2 roads through the safari and an equal number of animal pens on both sides. Sit in middle for the best photos

Mark Dalmeida

Definitely one of the highlights of the Animal Kingdom! Make sure you get on an early morning safari or a late afternoon tour . The majority of the animals are active when it's not as hot. Great ride!

David Telfer

The previous 'little red and the poachers ' story line repaced with a much more direct 'save the planet' monologue which is nowhere near as involving nor so much fun to experience.

Sam S

Get here early as the animals will be moving around but the line gets pretty long so fast pass it and take the exploration trail and see the baby gorilla (born 5 months ago as of 8/7/10).

Joanne Espinosa

Go as soon as the park opens to the safari to avoid the lines and enjoy seeing most of the animals. It's still cool and the animals are out and about.

Chris Steele

Note: Fast Pass is no longer fast here. Be prepared to spend a good amount of time waiting in line even if you've got a fast pass . Line snakes down past the marketplace .

Gilbert Hernandez

Definitely the first thing to do in Animal Kingdom! Bring your camera ! Try to seat in the left side of the car.

Gemima Trujillo

Love this safari! Try to ride in the morning, I've always seen more animals during this time of the day.

Rachel K

Make sure you try and get on in the morning! You can see more animals that way!

DisneyisLove

Definitely a must if visiting Disney's Animal Kingdom. Be sure to bring a camera to get snap shots of all the animals along the ride!

Jessica Legner

Scenic views of a fake African landscape, but still pretty cool. Real animals wandering around. A must do at AK.

Kyle LeBeau

It’s an African safari in central Florida. Have your cameras ready

Jeana @ SurfandSunshine.com

The left side is the best side! Do this first thing to see the most animals. Grab a fast pass to go again in the afternoon!

Brandon Cain

Bring the best camera you got. Go early in the morning or before the park closes for the peak animal times

Miriam Goldman

My favourite attraction . Go early in the day when the animals are most active.

Greg Pagans

Great ride, can be excellent given a great guide...keep your eyes roving and you'll get some great views and pictures!

S G M

This is a very nice and awesome ride... To see all those live animals coexisting with each other... So amazing????????
