The Discovery Island Trails are walking paths located in [[Discovery Island]] within [[Disney's Animal Kingdom]].
==Description and History==
The Discovery Island Trails are lush walking trails that wind around the base of the Tree of Life. The Trails feature landscaped pathways, wooden bridges and cave like tunnels. The exhibits on the trails can be viewed in any sequence. When the park first opened, what currently constitutes as the Discovery Island Trails was actually two separate attractions attractions- the Safari Village Trail and the Tree of Life Gardens <ref> http://www.florida-project.com/images/guidemaps/dak/disneys-animal-kingdom-guidemap-1998-june-05.jpg </ref>. By late 1998 however the Tree of Life Gardens were incorporated into the Safari Village Trail <ref> http://www.florida-project.com/images/guidemaps/dak/disneys-animal-kingdom-guidemap-1998-december-05.jpg </ref>.In December 2000, the name of the Safari Village Trail was changed to the Disocvery Island Trails, in conjunction with the fact that the entire Safari Village land was renamed Discovery Island <ref> https://d23.com/a-to-z/safari-village/ </ref>.
