Best path to Kilimanjaro Safari in AM

[Joe Arkansas]

Thinking of making Kilimanjaro Safaris our priority at park opening. What is the best path:

- Direct route around the left side of the Tree of Life (contending with the FoP masses)?
- Indirect route through Asia (avoiding the FoP crowd)?​

Thoughts?

Your probably fine with either, but I think the direct route is best. People cut that corner as sharp as possible to get to Pandora so they drop out of traffic pretty quickly.

I do find the walk on the indirect route absolutely beautiful.

Much faster via the Pandora (west) side.

I would go left past the Pandora route.
They will let you into the park about 8:30 and stop you around the oasis. The crowd headed to Pandora (the majorty of the crowd) will be stopped just before they enter Pandora, so that mob will not be in your way to the Safari. Most liekly you will not be let into Harambi before opening time (as opposed to getting in early to Pandora).

We rope dropped the Safari one day and Everest the next. In both cases we were let into the park about half an hour early, but held back inside until 9. For the Safari you may get stuck in Asia before you can head left as we were before the bridge in both cases.

For the Safari the ride line also forms quickly just before they opened the gates (they let fast pass in for about 30 seconds first) so you may get left behind coming in from the side as the line forms hugging to the left. I would go from the Pandora side.
