In the conclusion to the attraction, the boats encounter the Shaman of Songs singing *Way Tiretuä,* a song representing the connection to the goddess Eywa.

## Jungle Cruise connections

In 1961, the people of Harambe revolted against their European overlords and gained independence. Kilimanjaro Safaris would remain in Harambe albeit aiming to be more in service of environmentalism and ecology. One of the company's main outposts was along the Harambe Wildlife Reserve, a reserve created by Harambe citizens which was repurposed by the former outpost of the *Smythe-Wallis British East Africa Livestock Ltd.*. By the 1990s, they were allies with the Harambe Wildlife Reserve and Wilderness Explorers.

Lost Safari photographer

The **Lost Safari photographer** is the conjectural name for a character from the Magic Kingdom's Jungle Cruise.

## History

### Biography

This man was a colonial safari-goer and photographer in the early half of the 20th century. Between 1911 and 1936, he was part of a safari-expedition passing through the African Veldt along the Nile river. The party came under attack by an angered rhinoceroswhich chased them up a tree in the veldt. The safari's further fate is unknown though it would become considered to be the longest missing but most spotted safari in history.

### Development history

The Trapped Safari was designed by animator Marc Davis for a comedy oriented update of the Jungle Cruise. However, the gag was made featuring racist depictions of black people. A better conceived variant of the vignette was installed in the Magic Kingdom's Jungle Cruise in-which the members of the safari were white colonial explorers, fitting into an interpretation of white colonialism being inept and pathetic.

In 2021, the Jungle Cruise was refurbished to feature less overt racism. Due to this, the Lost Safari was reimagined and installed the photographer being replaced by painter Rosa Soto Dominguez. However, this refurbishment also came with a more sympathetic approach to the trapped safari, stripping the Magic Kingdom version of the attraction of its anti-colonial interpretation.

## Appearances

### Jungle Cruise

#### Jungle Cruise: Wildlife Expeditions

The Magic Kingdom's lost safari appears in this incarnation of the attraction.

### Skipper Canteen

Jonas' dream however was to join the *Society of Explorers and Adventurers*, an aristocratic secret-society of colonial thieves and globe-trotters.

At some point, Ebenezer disappeared in the Amazon rainforest and left his journal behind for Jonas to find. Jonas travelled to the Amazon in an attempt to locate his lost uncle. Following his uncle's map, he happened upon many monstrous creatures which he captured and imprisoned. This included a bird-woman, a monkey-man, and a severed zombie's head. On this mission, Brisbane also grave-robbed the tomb of an Amazonian witch-doctor and stole the carcass to add to his collection.

Jonas would put all of these stolen rarities on display in a show which he called, "Horrors of the Amazon" in hopes that the *Society of Explorers and Adventurers* would recognize him as a suitable recruit. While exploiting the witch-doctor's corpse, it came to life and decided to punish Jonas with a painful death. Jonas attempted to cannibalize the witch-doctor's blood to protect himself, only to have his body controlled by the witch-doctor. Jonas and the witch-doctor then disappeared, with the implication being that Jonas was killed for his crimes.

Macaques

## Macaque

**The Macaques** are a genus of monkey which appear in the Jungle Cruise.

## Description

Macaques are a species of old-world monkey which are native to Asia and North Africa. In the Jungle Cruise's lore, some also live in the Amazon rainforest via unknown circumstances.

## History

### Development history

The monkeys were designed for the Jungle Cruise by animator Marc Davis. In 2021, the monkeys were installed in the controversial scene *Trader Sam's Gift Shop!* which replaced the infamously racist audio-animatronics of Trader Sam and Chief Nah-mee. Here, imagineers copied Marc Davis' gorilla gag (for the second time in the refurbishment) and had them ransacking belongings stolen by Trader Sam.

## Appearances

### Jungle Cruise

In the Magic Kingdom's Jungle Cruise, a family of macaques appear within Shir Lee Temple, rummaging through ancient treasures. In Disneyland's Jungle Cruise, they appear in Trader Sam's Gift Shop!, playing with his supply. One of these monkeys takes a photograph of guests using Sam's camera.

### Living with the Land

The monkeys from the Jungle Cruise are repurposed in this attraction.

### Maharajah Jungle Trek

The endangered lion-tailed macaques appear in this attraction at Disney's Animal Kingdom.

### Skipper Canteen

Columns in this mansion have carvings of the monkeys holding vases as they do in Shir Lee Temple.

## Trivia

* Some have put forwards that the two monkeys tugging over underpants in *Trader Sam's Gift Shop!* was copied from the Jurassic Park ride in Universal Studios where two compsognathus tug at a shirt.
* In the Adventure Trading Company, the Daily Gnus reported on monkeys terrorizing Sam's other business Tropical Imports.

## History

### Background

This was a lion pride which lived in a rock formation along the Nile River in the African veldt during the 1930s. They were often observed by passing-by boats.

### Development history

The lions were installed in the Jungle Cruise in 1964, inspired by the Disney *True-Life Adventures* film, "The African Lion".

### Jungle Cruise

The lions appear in their cave on the African veldt, eating a dead zebra and vultures look on. Skippers will often comment on them, "Protecting the sleeping zebra". In the Disneyland queue, Nigel Greenwater mentions the True-Life Adventurers Club having a lecture on, "The African Lion". Greenwater also mentions one Reverend Goff of the *Jungle Mission* looking to relocate a lion cub and two chimpanzees from the mission's veterinary clinic. In the Magic Kingdom's queue, Awol mentions them in an ad for the Elephant Safari Company, saying they take guests to see, "Lions, tigers and bears. Oh my", referencing The *Wizard of Oz* (1939).

Harambe Revolution

A stone commemorating the revolution

**The Harambe Revolution** or **Uhuru 1961** (Swahili: **Freedom 1961**) is a fictional event in the backstory of *Kilimanjaro Safaris* and *Africa* in *Disney's Animal Kingdom*.

## History

### Background

#### Beginning

Harambe is a port in East-Africa which was colonized by European imperialists around the year 1420. The Europeans (likely belonging to the British Empire) exploited the village as a trading port for practices including ivory trading, big-game hunting, metal trading, and slave trafficking. Harambe stayed under this hellish imperial rule for centuries. In the 19th through early half of the 20th century, the port was visited by several colonial explorers who wished to exploit the indentured land.

#### Revolution

In 1961, the people of Harambe revolted against the Europeans and gained independance.

#### Aftermath

The revolution would become known as Uhuru 1961 and was a celebrated event in the port's history. The city would be ruled by the Harambe Town Council and also made work to preserve nature via founding the Harambe Wildlife Reserve. The Reserve was based out of the former land of the colonial company *Smythe-Wallis British East Africa Livestock Ltd.*.

## Appearances

### Africa

References to the revolution are evident throughout the Africa area of Disney's Animal Kingdom. This includes a bench with the words, "Uhuru 1961" and stone-work with the words, "Harambe 1961".

## Trivia

* The Adventure Trading Company from the attraction of the same name is a colonial organization which was known to have been active in Harambe prior to the revolution.
* Unlike Kilimanjaro Safaris and the Africa area of Disney's Animal Kingdom, the Jungle Cruise and Adventureland tend to romanticize and glamorize European/British colonialism.

The Kissimmee Kate appears only in Disneyland's Jungle Cruise. In the queue, it appears on a board listing boats along with a gag where instead of writing its date of arrival/departure, an employee wrote, "Yes please" in response to, "Kissimmee Kate". The board mentions the Kate arriving on-time for the first time in its history, returning from the Irrawaddy.

#### Jingle Cruise

## Trivia

* Kissimmee Kate's Magic Kingdom counterpart was the *Kwango Kate* which was decommissioned in 2021 but continues to be used in Jungle Cruise: Wildlife Expeditions and as a show-scene in the American parks' Chimp Country/Hippo Pool scenes.
* The boat is likely named for the 1948 musical, *Kiss Me, Kate*, an adaptation of William Shakespeare's *Taming of the Shrew*. The name Kate in the play refers to the character of Katherine/Kate Minola.
* The Kissimmee Kate might be named in tribute for actress Katherine Hepburn (1907-2003) who played Rose Sayer in *The African Queen* (1951) which influenced Harper Goff in his development of the Jungle Cruise.

Mosquitoes

**Mosquitoes** (or **Mosquitos**) are a real-world species of insect often referenced in the *Jungle Cruise*. They are considered to be the deadliest animals on Earth for humans, due to females extracting blood from humans to make their eggs which in turn spreads diseases like malaria.

## Description

Mosquitos (notably the species **stegomyia fasciata**) are an insect native to regions of Adventureland such as the Lost Delta. Female mosquitos drain blood from vertebrates for the protein needed to lay their eggs, in doing so injecting a venomous saliva which carries parasites and bacteria from host-organism to host-organism. Because of this, the mosquitos are well known for spreading diseases like malaria and likely, yellow fever.

## Appearances

### Attractions

#### Jungle Cruise

A crate in the Amazon River Base of Walt Disney World's Jungle Cruise is labelled as containing, "mosquitos (stegomyia fasciata)" and is addressed to the *Office of Prevention and Treatment of Malaria*. Nigel Greenwater's removed audio at Disneyland mentioned Trader Sam as selling a shipment of mosquito repellent at his shop, Tropical Imports. A removed sign in the Amazon River Base warning about Malaria featured illustrations of mosquitos. A crate in the Lost Delta outpost is for insect repellent, used against mosquitos.

#### Trader Sam's

In Skip's explanation of the bars' backstory, Trader Sam was bitten by a (literal), "Bartending Bug" which everyone misidentified as a mosquito. The bars also serve a drink called *Mosquito Mojito* which when ordered, causes the sound of mosquitos to buzz around the bar as skippers use a fly-swatter.

##### Trader Sam's Enchanted Tiki Bar

In the bar is a framed photograph of the Lost Delta with Trader Sam's caption, "*This is my favourite mosquito infested spot to get water for all green drinks ordered at my bar*".

### Printed-materials

#### Skipper Survival Guide

Mosquito netting was mentioned as being sold shops around the boathouse, and as being equipped on Professor Von Schlit's boat.

## Trivia

* Mosquitos are kept out of Walt Disney World through several tactics including insecticide and a variety of chickens whom they test the blood of to detect mosquito populations.
* Jungle Navigation Company member E.L. O'Fevre's name is a play on Yellow Fever, an illness famously spread by mosquitos.
