When you enter Disney's Animal Kingdom, the first thing you encounter is a trail with exotic birds and small animals. You may be tempted to hurry past the creatures to get in line for one of the rides, but walking slowly along the trail to see the animals and birds is peaceful and relaxing.

The Kilimanjaro Safari takes you on an exciting truck ride through the African Serengeti where you may view in their natural habitat giraffes, wildebeests, hippos, rhinos, elephants, lions, cheetah, zebras, okapi, alligators, and flamingo.

The Pangani Trail will take you on a journey to see beautiful tigers, ferocious gorillas, hilarious monkeys, freaky bats, and colorful fish.

The most popular ride at Animal Kingdom is Everest, a mind blowing roller coaster visited by the legendary Yeti. If you don't mind getting wet, take a ride through the Kali River Rapids.

The Dinosaur ride seems frighteningly real, and will make anyone scream. Primeval Whirl is exhilarating and will make you dizzy.  Camp Mickey is the section for small children and features an awesome petting zoo, and an opportunity to view minor veterinary treatments on the smaller animals.

It's Tough to Be a Bug is the eye popping 3D program housed inside the wondrous Tree of Life. Even when the line is long, it's ok, because exploring the animals hand-carved into the Tree is fascinating. Many of the restaurants feature African or Asian dishes. Tusker House offers a mouth- watering buffet, and Yak and Yeti serves delicious Asian dishes amidst a decor reminiscent of a far Eastern palace. The Rain Forest Cafe is fun for the entire family, especially when the animals "come to life."  On your next Disney excursion, even if you're not an animal lover, stop by the Animal Kingdom for a visit with nature's most majestic creatures.
