Disney made Josh Gad a guide on the Kilimanjaro Safaris and shared a video of how it went:

Oh, whew, I was worried they were replacing the live guides with a taped overlay!

I'm not sure they could even do that -- it's too unpredictable with live animals. A taped spiel could be completely off from what guests are actually seeing.

Also (and probably more importantly), they have to have someone driving the vehicle anyways.

But if they stuff all the animals and put them on sticks they could move them around with timers and triggers. Bet they could put it on a track to eliminate the driver and just have screenz inside with a talking head doing the spiel

I earned eternal respect for him after a Disney Dish episode where he lamented the loss of Maelstrom.

You know. The attraction that gave way to an attraction that one of his characters features in prominently. He seemed genuinely sad the ride had to go away.

I mean, he could have named any handful of rides but he really singled out that one. Thought it was an honest and classy move of his.
