T RAVEL ANIMAL KINGDOM Everyone, especially animal lovers, will be enthralled with Disney World’s Animal Kingdom. At the centre of this laid-back park that has the essence of travel to Africa, India and Asia, is the intricately sculpted Tree of Life (above), which expresses the balance of nature with all living things. Themed musical theatre performances, excursions like the Kilimanjaro Safaris and the Mahara- jah Jungle Trek, live animal zoo exhibits from insects to elephants, plus an array of fun and thrilling rides are there for kids both young and old. Animal Kingdom is great for a slower-paced day to reconnect with nature. Above: Expedition Everest - Legend of the Forbidden Mountain. Right: Kali River Rapids boat ride (you might get a little wet).
