Disney’s Animal Kingdom Villas – Kidani Village

Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge Villas offers vacationers exciting accommodations in the heart of the Animal Kingdom Park. Kidani Villages' design is based on the kraal, a type of African village design. Rooms boast spacious balconies overlooking lush savannas—where over 30 species of African wildlife roam free—and the unique kraal design makes for ideal viewing. Expect to see everything from giraffes to zebras to gazelles, impalas, and several species of African birds. Rooms at Kidani range from studio suites to one-bedroom villas.

On-site dining options include fantastic outlets such as Boma, Flavors of Africa, Sanaa, and Jiko, the Cooking Place, allowing you to sample a range of Authentic African cuisine. Kids will enjoy Uwanja Camp, a unique opportunity for animal observation at a water playground where they can play and learn. The children's pool also offers a shallow, beach-like area perfect for younger children and a waterslide. Meanwhile, adults and precocious youngsters are sure to enjoy the guided art tour next door at Jambo House. Follow a knowledgeable guide as you learn about the history and significance of the resort’s 800+-piece collection of authentic African art, one of the largest in America.

At night, the whole family can enjoy campfire singalongs and marshmallow roasting as well as classic Disney movies under the stars. And during the day, a rotating schedule of family-friendly events ensures there’s always something to do, even if you’ve tried all the amenities. Events include live African music, craft-making classes, wildlife encounters, and more.
