When going to Africa is a stretch

Naturally, a South African safari is on my bucket list. Given the sheer number of entries, my odds of ticking that off within the next decade seem slim. Until then, my memories the Kilimanjaro Safaris at Disney's Animal Kingdom serve as a worthy stand-in.

If you're an animal lover, and cannot make it to South Africa, do try this fantastic alternative! A visit to Animal Kingdom park will not only provide you with a taste of the real experience, but it has other fun activities like Avatar Flight of Passage, Expedition Everest, and the Festival of the Lion King to name a few.
