Want to see real animals in an African setting? Sit back and enjoy the ride in your very own guided jeep tour through a reproduction of an animal reserve! What’s your favorite African animal? Chances are you’ll see it on this ride! Prepare to witness hippos, giraffes, lions, elephants, warthogs and more in a natural-like habitat.
Since the animals are allowed to roam their space of their own free will, each time you go on this attraction it’s like a new experience, and you never know what you’ll see. Be aware that if you have a favorite, there is no guarantee the animals will be out and visible. Hey, even they need a break once in a while!
– Go on this ride first thing in the morning. Not only are the animals pretty active but this is one of the first rides to fill up and the line gets longer as the day goes on.
– Keep your camera ready, but make sure not to drop it outside of the vehicle!
– Can’t get enough of the animals? Make sure to walk the Maharajah Jungle Trek and Pangani Forest Exploration where you’ll see a variety of animals.

A must see each trip for us. Every ride will be different as the animals are free to roam in their areas. We enjoy riding early in the day when the animals are just coming out of their night time home.
