The Wildlife Express Train is a narrow gauge rail transport attraction at Disney's Animal Kingdom in Walt Disney World. It takes guests from Harambe Station in the Africa section to Conservation Station in the Rafiki's Planet Watch section. During the ride, portions of the Animal Kingdom backlot can be seen, including animal holding buildings for rhinos and elephants, among other animals as well as the roundhouse where the trains are stored. It takes about seven minutes to go from Harambe Station to Conservation Station and an additional five minutes to return. The railway is built to a narrow gauge, which is smaller than the currently used on East African railways. The full journey is a 1.2mi round trip.The railway is part of the fictional Eastern Star Railway, running from Lusaka to Nairobi and Kisangani.
