Kilimanjaro Safaris Pin in Animal Kingdom
One of the most loved attractions in all of Walt Disney World Resort is the safari at Disney’s Animal Kingdom. Therefore, this is a great Kilimanjaro Safaris pin to honor a great ride!
Walt’s Vision
Did you know that Walt Disney first envisioned Kilimanjaro Safaris? However, during that time, Disneyland did not have the space or money for such a feat.
Therefore, The Jungle Cruise was born. However, Imagineers made Walt’s dream come to reality years later when Disney’s Animal Kingdom opened. Just as this pin notes, Kilimanjaro Safaris, an adventure where Guests see real animals, was established in 1998.
Pin Details
So, let’s take a closer look at all the pin’s beautiful details. First, it has a gorgeous deep, golden color.
Also, it’s important to note that this pin is part of the Disney Collection, which makes it a bit more special than other pins. Let’s look at the etchings next.
As I already mentioned “Established 1998/ Kilimanjaro Safaris” is written at the top. Then, you see the infamous safari truck. These trucks weave you through the trails to see the beautiful animals.
Then, the bottom of the pin says, “Harambe Wildlife Reserve Africa.” This, of course, refers to the section of Disney’s Animal Kingdom where you can find the infamous Kilimanjaro Safaris.
A Beloved Attraction
So, throughout Kilimanjaro Safaris, you can see African wildlife including lions, zebras, giraffes, flamingos, and more. Also, if you go in the evening hours, you also see hyenas.
Indeed, the ride has changed its theme over the years, but it continues to be a crowd-pleaser. After all, who doesn’t love seeing these exotic and gorgeous creatures, seemingly close enough to touch them?!
Shopping Location
If you love this new Kilimanjaro Safaris pin as much as I do, then you can find it at Island Mercantile in Disney’s Animal Kingdom, of course!
