We were at Disney Animal Kingdom a couple of days ago. One of the attractions at the park is the Kilimanjaro Safaris. The Safari provides the chance to see African animals including giraffes, black rhinos and lions, as they roam the 100-acre savanna in the Africa area of the Disney Animal Kingdom theme park. After boarding a jeep we headed into the animal reserve, off our jeep went, down the bumpy dirt trail and into Africa! Our driver pointed out the various wildlife -- but didn't stop long enough for photos, barely paused. The first time we went on the Safari the driver paused longer. Below are a couple of pictures taken during the Safari. Despite the short stops (not more than 5 seconds) below are some pictures that hubby took.

The Hippopotami don't seem to mind the Vultures and vice versa.

Gazelles are known as swift animals – some are able to run at bursts as high as 60 miles per hour (97 km/h), or run at a sustained speed of 30 miles per hour (48 km/h).[1] Gazelles are mostly found in the deserts, grasslands and savannas of Africa, but they are also found in southwest and central Asia, and the Indian subcontinent. They tend to live in herds and will eat less coarse, easily digestible plants and leaves.

This Giraffe was about a foot away from our jeep!

The wildebeest also called the Gnu. Gnus belong to the family Bovidae, which includes antelopes, cattle, goats, and other even-toed horned ungulates

After the Safari it was onto the Maharajah Jungle Treck.

A Komodo Dragon, the world's largest lizard, resides near a waterfall at the beginning of the Maharajah Jungle Trek. It is the largest living species of lizard, growing to a maximum length of 3 meters (9.8 ft) in rare cases and weighing up to around 70 kilograms (150 lb).

One of the highlights of this tour is the Asian tigers. There are 3 separate viewing areas where you can watch these majestic animals play. The tigers must have been tired from all their playing as they were sleeping soundly when we passed. It didn't matter, they are beautiful creatures.

Oops don't know what these are.

Continued on to the Bat Cliffs and observed the Rodrigues Fruit and Malayan Flying Fox bat species.

Malayan Flying Fox, I think

There are more than 50 species of exotic birds. These are a few that we encountered.
