Located at the end of Kilamanjaro Safari, or from an entrance in Harambe, guests can enter the  Pangani (Swahili for "place of enchantment") Forest Exploration Trail, where they can take a walk through the domain of two troops of lowland gorillas, see hippos from an underwater viewing area and get close to exotic birds in an aviary.

The trail begins at the Research Station and leads to the free flight aviary and a large aquarium with a variety of fish. Next up is the hippopotomaus exhibit, where guests can view hippos both in and out of water. Further up ahead is a scenic overlook area, where guests can get an unobstructed view of the African savanna. Here, also, guests will be able to see a family of meerkats. At the end of the trail is the highlight of the attraction: the Gorilla enclosure. This lush green valley is home to several African lowland gorillas. If you don't see any right away, just wait a few minutes. These guys like to hide!

The Pangani Forest Exploration Trail is what Animal kingdom is all about.
