Disney's Animal Kingdom Villas at Jambo House
Resort Amenities
About this place
Disney's Animal Kingdom Villas provide unique accommodations surrounded by 21-acre lush savannas where over 30 species of African wildlife freely roam. Villas can be booked in both Jambo House and Kidani Village, and DVC resort guests can enjoy the amenities of both buildings. Discover award-winning dining, bask in the tropical oasis of Uzima Pool or Samawati Springs, and enjoy your own African adventure!
What Makes This Stay Unique
The four savannas (Sunset, Arusha, Pembe & Uzima) at Animal Kingdom Villas are home to a wide array of African wildlife, visible throughout the resort and from any Villa booked with a savanna view. You can learn more during your visit from your in-room field guide or by animal programs run by Animal Specialists. For an even closer encounter, guests can book special night-time safari tours with Disney.
Float around and play in Uzima Pool, a tropical oasis facing the savanna and shaded by a natural canopy. This 11,000-square-foot pool features zero-entry, a waterslide and a pool bar for refreshments. Don’t miss a visit to the flamingos, who are enjoying their very own pool area nearby!
At Jambo House, you can immerse yourself in the lively African marketplace-inspired buffet at Boma for either breakfast and dinner, or enjoy the ambience of signature dining at Jiko, where crackling wood-burning ovens cook up a delicious blend of African, Indian and Mediterranean cuisine. The Mara is a quick-service dining hall with options for even the pickiest eaters on the plains, and the Cape Town Lounge and Victoria Falls Lounge both offer intimate ambience and boutique South African wines. For shopping options, Zawadi Marketplace offers a range of sundries and souvenirs.
