Overview

Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge is one of the most extraordinary resort hotels in the world — a grand African lodge overlooking four private savannas where over 30 species of African wildlife roam freely.

Jiko — The Cooking Place is one of the most acclaimed restaurants on Walt Disney World property, offering an innovative menu inspired by the flavors of Africa with an extensive South African wine list. Boma — Flavors of Africa offers a more casual buffet experience celebrating the diverse cuisines of the African continent.

The resort's Kidani Village DVC expansion added a second savanna and additional wildlife viewing opportunities, along with a dedicated pool area. Night vision goggles are available at the resort's Arusha Rock overlook for after-dark wildlife viewing — one of the most magical experiences on Walt Disney World property.
