Pangani Forest Exploration Trail

Pangani Forest Exploration Trail, Wildlife observation trail at Disney's Animal Kingdom, Florida.

The Gorilla Falls Exploration Trail is a walkway beside Kilimanjaro Safaris in the Africa area of Disney's Animal Kingdom, about three-eighths of a mile long. It passes recreated rainforest and water habitats where visitors watch western lowland gorillas, hippos, okapi, meerkats and Grevy's zebra, plus an aviary of African birds. Research students stand at most locations to explain the animals and answer questions.

The trail opened in 1998 as a core part of Disney's Animal Kingdom. It was designed as a dedicated space to teach visitors about wildlife conservation and animal behavior.

The trail's name refers to the Pangani Forest, a rainforest setting recreated along the walkway in the Africa area of Disney's Animal Kingdom. Staff called "research students" are stationed at most stops to explain the animals and answer questions, so the walk works as an informal guided lesson on African wildlife rather than a plain zoo path.

The walkway runs about three-eighths of a mile beside Kilimanjaro Safaris, and staffed positions along it answer questions about the animals. Plan to walk the whole route rather than doubling back, since the exhibits follow one after another.

The trail runs about three-eighths of a mile beside Kilimanjaro Safaris. At most stops, staff acting as research students share information about the animals and answer questions. The route passes a hippo pool and a group of western lowland gorillas, and an aviary holds birds such as the hammerkop and Taveta golden weaver.
