I love Silverback Gorillas, so I found this Trail to be amazing. I especially enjoyed watching the Gorillas drag their blankets to a spot to lay down at. The baby was adorable! - Meg T.

It's well worth your time to explore this enveloping forest of fun, but some areas do get crowded. 9/10. - David L.

Very cool trail to walkthrough. Its so cool to see gorillas and know Disney is protecting them from poachers. - Justin Knight

Very nice way to get away from the crowds. The animals you'll encounter here are pretty nice to see because it's not every day you see these animals. - Justin Knight

Another amazing trail, and a great companion piece to Maharaja. The Gorillas are insanely fun to watch as they interact. - Sean Huckel

Animals tend to be more active in the morning so I would recommend doing Kilmanjaro Safaris fist and then a nature trail or two early in the day. This trail is my favorite because of the silverback gorillas. The nature trails are a lot of fun because you get to control the pace and you can stay in a habitat for as long or as little as you want. - Mickey Black

Much better than a zoo. The exhibits are very large with beautiful plants, and tons of animals. You get to see quite a few gorillas with great views, and the aviary is also very nice with a variety of gorgeous birds. - Renee Michelle

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
