I don't think it's really fair to compare Kiliminjaro Safaris to other attractions because it's such a different thing entirely.

With that said, Kiliminjaro is what the Jungle Cruise was originally supposed to be. It's one of the best experiences at WDW. If I had to split 10 rides between the two, it would be 10 rides for Kiliminjaro and 0 for the Jungle Cruise.

Yeah, I get that what you’re saying. But I compared them as they’re both rides that have a tour guide talking about the animals (“skipper”) both show animals (I know Jungle Cruise’s are fake), and both have nice scenery.

I still like comparing them regardless.

Nothing beats the sight of real animals. Voting for Safari, especially on a day when the animals are in place for some great views and photo ops. Especially when the Lions are lounging on the rock formation. On our last trip we were able to spot both Lion and Lioness in perfect view on the rocks. Our truck also was stopped for some time as a giraffe wandered along at a slow pace refusing to move aside from the road and gave us some fantastic photos moments.

Usually it’s not easy to pick on these polls. This time it took .000856 seconds.

Jungle Cruise is fun but it’s a once a day kinda thing. Kilimanjaro Safari is one I love to repeat whenever possible.

Love them both, but I’ll give the win to Kilimanjaro Safari. Can’t beat the live animals, and the immersion is near perfect.
Jungle Cruise is excellent for what it is: a tongue in cheek spoof of a Safari.
But sometimes you really want the real Safari. ( or the illusion of a real one.)
