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

The Pangani Forest Exploration Trail is a pathway through recreated rainforest environments at Disney's Animal Kingdom, featuring gorillas, hippos, meerkats, and numerous bird species. The route spans about half a mile and includes multiple viewing areas positioned to observe the animals comfortably.

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.

Information panels display facts about African wildlife in both English and Swahili, connecting visitors to East African traditions and knowledge. This bilingual presentation allows you to experience how people in that region speak and understand their natural world.

The pathway is wheelchair-accessible and includes several rest areas and water fountains along the route. The viewing stations are positioned at convenient heights to observe the enclosures comfortably.

Scientists conduct daily behavioral research on the resident gorilla family, documenting their social interactions and activities. Visitors can observe these studies taking place through specially designed viewing areas.
