This safari truck at Disney’s Animal Kingdom hasn’t even left the park, but it still managed to drive over 95,000 miles.
The vehicle, used on the Kilimanjaro Safaris ride at Disney’s Animal Kingdom, loops through the same trail every single day, and a viral Reddit post shows just how much that adds up.
It’s a wild reminder that even theme park trucks can rack up supercar-level mileage, just a lot slower.
The truck’s odometer shows the equivalent of driving around Earth almost four times.

The safari truck that never stops
Visitors to Disney’s Animal Kingdom love to see the coolest exotic animals on the Kilimanjaro Safaris ride, and they get the pleasure of viewing the animals in a custom Ford F40 car.
Each Kilimanjaro Safaris vehicle travels at about 8 mph, carrying guests past real-life lions, elephants, and giraffes on a guided tour through the savannah.
On a viral Reddit post, someone shared a picture of the odometer on a Kilimanjaro Safaris ride vehicle, with a whopping 95,000 miles showing.
That means those 95,000 miles weren’t earned on highways but on a dirt track, over years of slow, looping journeys.
Former drivers in the Reddit thread say the vehicles run all day, every day, which easily explains the high number.
They also note the trucks endure constant turns, stops, and rough terrain, putting unique stress on their suspension and tires.
Miles around Disney’s Animal Kingdom
For most cars, 95,000 miles might signal it’s time to trade in, but for these safari trucks, it’s proof of Disney’s meticulous maintenance and engineering.
Despite the brutal schedule, they keep running smoothly-testament to the reliability of a vehicle designed for endurance, not speed.
So while it may never hit 200mph, this Disney truck still earns bragging rights for its performance… one slow circle at a time.
