Disney World's Animal Kingdom theme park.
As cooler weather arrives in Central Florida, the ostriches, giraffes, elephants, cheetahs, wildebeest, and other African species who call Disney's Animal Kingdom home become more active, providing animal spotters with improved viewing opportunities on the Kilimanjaro Safari and on the many animal trails scattered throughout the theme park.
Guests who visit Walt Disney World during the popular spring and summer months are more likely to see animals seeking shade under the many trees and bushes of Disney's African savannah. Now that temperatures have started to dip into the 60s and 70s, however, the African animals have become more active, often forcing safari trucks to stop and wait while a white rhinoceros crosses in front of the truck. As a result, intimate encounters and terrific photo opportunities abound for Disney World guests who go on safari.
The best time to spot animals is in the morning, when the weather is coolest. Moreover, the line for Kilimanjaro Safari is shortest in the morning. It is not uncommon for guests to have close encounters with wild African animals on the safari ride. Animal activity also increases on the animal trails, which feature gorillas, tigers, hippos, bats, birds, and myriad African and Asian animals (plus many native Florida bird species who frequent the park).
