The gorilla's are the main attraction on this trail, get to see lots of them. I was very pleasantly surprised by the fact that there were guiding rangers everywhere informing you on the animals, even without asking. - A. P.

I love seeing the gorillas! It is good exercise because you walk on the trails, not ride them. - Matthew Harackiewicz

Excellent - Man-Eating Sharks

Really nice to see some of the cool animals! Better than a normal zoo too. 8/10 - D H

better than your typical zoo but can get very congested. worth you time. - David L.

You can enjoy a sunny, animal adventure in this empty place!! This place is awesome!! My kids loved it! - Brendan Harrison

Great first thing. I s practically empty, and cast members that love to talk "critters" are everywhere. - Marc Ricketts

A great trail. You'll see a lot of different animals. Incluing a under water vew of the Hippos and you'll go right through a Gorilla Forest! Yes you'll be in the middle of the forest. It is amazing. A great way to kill time for your Kilimanjaro Safaris Fastpass. - Jay Glenn

Not as good as the Maharajah Jungle Trek, but well worth your time, especially if you like bird watching. It is best to walk this congested trail early, before the crowds hit. - James Rao

Well planned thoroughly enjoyable trail. There are many animals to see including Gorillas and Hippos. Visited this at around 5pm on weekend in June and also mid afternoon in November and it wasn't too crowded on either occasion. This isn't as large or as varied as the Maharajah Jungle Trek, but it is still worth a visit. - Emily G

We got to see hippos up close! They are so graceful under water. The gorillas were amazing...the intelligence behind those eyes are so obvious. - Mark Fairleigh
