Encircled by
Discovery River, this lush green island is your
gateway to all the other lands of Disney's Animal
Kingdom. The vibrant centrepiece of the Park,
Safari Village is adorned with colourful
buildings that rise from the cool shadows of The
Tree of Life. Each and every structure comes
alive with primitive carvings in every gable,
door, column and window.
Discovery River
Boats: -
Like all islands Safari Village is surrounded by
water, in this case Discovery River. Climb on
board a boat for a trip on the river that will
include live animal encounters, a water dinosaur
and a fire breathing dragon (the dragon is a
cave).
The Tree of
Life: -
Standing at 140-feet tall and 50-feet wide, with
carvings of over 325 animals.
Like Cinderella's Castle in the Magic Kingdom
Park, The Tree of Life is the icon of Animal
Kingdom. The entire tree is surrounded by
shimmering rock-pools of water, and long grass
filled with a host of birds and small animals.
Stroll around Safari Village Trails through the
root system of The Tree of Life. This soft
landscape is filled with otters, flamingos,
tamarinds, lemurs, tortoises and colourful ducks,
storks, cranes and cockatoos.
It's Tough to Be a
Bug: -
Inside The Tree of Life, it's hollow trunk is
cool, dark and roomy housing a 430-seat theatre
which shows a state of the art 3-D show which
takes a humorous look at life from a bug's point
of view, crawling with special effects. Flik from
'A Bug's Life' hosts it.
Meet the
ARTimals: -
A fun and fanciful display of living art that
shows the imagination people have found in the
world of the animals. March of the ARTimals has
been withdrawn because it jammed the pathways
that weren't designed for a parade and the floats
are now used as photo opportunities in Safari
Village called Meet the ARTimals.
