DisneyFanatic.com The Latest News, Advice, and Perspective from Disney Fans for Disney Fans!
Kilimanjaro Safaris at Disney’s Animal Kingdom is constantly touted for its authenticity, namely that the animals seen within the Harambe Wildlife Reserve are, in fact, wild and will behave as they would on an actual safari.
Well, there are those rare occasions when the animals give Disney World Guests a rude awakening to the fact that they are experiencing something more than a Theme Park attraction, and one of those cases occurred just a few days ago. A video uploaded to TikTok showed two of the Elephants deciding to increase the herd’s population for all of the Guests to see.

Each ride aboard Kilimanjaro Safaris is different. This writer will attest to that. Whether it is new animals, new babies, sparring matches, or animals getting busy, the drivers are right when they say that you never know what you might see.
