Disney's Animal Kingdom
Pangani Forest Exploration Trail
This is the new name, meaning "place of enchantment" (see
August Update), that
was originally called Gorilla Falls Exploration Trail:
This area is between the Kilimanjaro Safaris departure station and the unloading stations:
On this trail you will be able to see several animal habitats, including
walking through a large aviary filled with African birds.
viewing windows into the hippo pond (sometimes the water is very murky)
and see naked mole rat habitats
gazelle, meerkats, dikdiks
and several lowland gorillas. One viewing area is a glass wall overlooking a family habitat, where a father, mother and baby are residing. This is where most of the crowd was. Ask a Cast Member where the best vantage points are - they are a wealth of information.
And on the other side of the valley/path are the bachelors - somewhere in this jungle.
After you exit the Exploration trail, look for the Wildlife Express station
on the left.
We're going to Conservation Station next.
