Kilimanjaro Safari and your Homeschool

Before you go to Disney’s Animal Kingdom, take a few minutes at least to look up some of the animals you’ll see. Or do an in-depth study of them…whichever fits your fancy. And just in case you were wondering…yes, these are real animals we’re talking about, not audio-animatronics.
