Little Red Going Away at Kilimanjaro Safaris. Zebras Coming.

Beginning this spring, Kilimanjaro Safaris in Disney’s Animal Kingdom theme park will undergo some wild changes, aimed at giving guests the opportunity to see more of their favorite animals, specifically zebras, during the 20-minute open-air ride. The audio-animatronics “Little Red” elephant and related set pieces will be removed as the theme park adds a new savannah space, including a watering hole for live animals. Kilimanjaro Safaris will remain operational through the enhancement, scheduled to be completed by fall 2012.
