Kilimanjaro Safari Walk
Walk this way
The Kilimanjaro Safari Walk takes you through some scenic areas of the Wild Animal Park.
There are so many ways to enjoy the Wild Animal Park, and one of them gives you a truly unique perspective: a jaunt along the Kilimanjaro Safari Walk. This 2-mile (3.2-kilometer) path leads you to unforgettable sights and vistas. Bring your camera, wear comfortable walking shoes, take along a picnic or snack and some water, and you're set for adventure.
Staying true to the Walk's African theme, the route takes you along the East Africa path to Lion Camp, then to Kilima Point and on to the Elephant Viewing Patio. Signage in vivid hues reminiscent of colors favored by the Maasai and other East Africa tribes, helps keep you on track.
Stroll past Lion Camp to see our pride.
