New 'Imagineer That!' Episode Explains How Kilimanjaro Safaris Separates Species

An Engineering Week segment details concealed terrain that keeps species apart without breaking the savanna illusion.

Overview

  • Walt Disney Imagineering released a YouTube episode of Imagineer That! in which host Tom Morrow 2.0 visits Kilimanjaro Safaris to answer a fan question about lions and rhinos.
  • Master planning executive Matt explains that rock formations, water features, and hidden moats establish safe boundaries between animals.
  • Enrichment areas with toys and treat stations gently guide animals to comfortable locations that improve guest viewing opportunities.
  • Containment and guidance elements are blended into the landscape so the habitat reads as an open African savanna to riders.
  • The episode is part of Imagineering’s Engineering Week outreach running February 22–28, 2026, with related series content available on YouTube and Disney+.
