February weather always has me dreaming of warmer places and the start of my favorite season: spring! One of my favorite parts about living in Florida was all the beautiful flowers that started to bloom during mid-late February. Disney’s Animal Kingdom embodies everything I love about spring and it’s truly breathtaking to see all of the wildlife against the backdrop of the park coming to life. I hope you enjoy some of my favorite spring snapshots of this place that is so close to my heart. I can’t wait to return next month to see all the parks in bloom! Follow along with me to explore some of my favorite corners and hidden gems in this guide of the best Disney’s Animal Kingdom photo spots.

TRAIL BETWEEN AFRICA AND ASIA

The heart of the park: one of my favorite photo spots is the backside of the Tree of Life. The walkway between Africa and Asia has a little hidden pathway leading to my favorite view of the Tree of Life. It almost makes you feel like you’re truly in the jungle.
