Close encounters  don't get much closer...

Kids love to spot elephants. Kilimanjaro Safari - elephants
   
You may even glimpse the King of the Beasts. Kilimanjaro Safari - lion on rock
   
But this wouldn't be much of an adventure without a good chase scene: your jeep must catch the wicked poachers, quick! Kilimanjaro Safari - poachers plane
   
This baobob tree looks so real... but a real one this size would be hundreds of years old.
