Pangani Forest Exploration Trail Returns to its Original Name

The Pangani Forest Exploration Trail at Disney’s Animal Kingdom will be returning to its original name, Gorilla Falls Exploration Trail.

The walking attraction was renamed Pangani back in July 1998, to better represent the fact that the trail was not just home to gorillas.

Eighteen years later, Disney has decided to go back to the original name. Starting on Memorial Day Weekend, it will once again be known as Gorilla Falls Exploration Trail.

Located in Africa, the trail is home to a variety of animals, including gorillas, hippos, African birds and fish, naked mole rats, meerkats and okapi.

I am a lifelong fan of everything Disney. My first trip to a a Disney park was to Disneyland as a child in 1970, but didn't make to Walt Disney World until I went with my wife and first child in 1990. A year doesn't go by with out at least one trip to either Disneyland or Walt Disney World. My wife and I are Disney Vacation Club members and also Charter Members of D23. View all posts by Ray
