Disney’s Animal Kingdom Villas is a lodge-style resort featuring spacious accommodations in a setting that make you feel like you're right in the heart of Africa. Over 30 species of African wildlife roam free amidst four lush, tropical savannas, which you may view at observation stations throughout the resort and from select guest room balconies. The resort is set in the middle of an expansive wildlife preserve. It features authentic African-inspired architecture and landscape design that allows for expansive views of the savanna and its many animal inhabitants.

Thatched ceilings, large beams, a woven ceiling, hand-carved golden-tone furnishings, genuine African artifacts, and a vast mud fireplace greet you in the main lobby. Inside the guest rooms, you'll discover more African architecture with hand-carved columns, ornate floral hanging fixtures, golden-tone furnishings, and floor lamps that resemble swaying trees. Experience the untamed spirit of Africa with panoramic views from Arusha Rock, an elevated rock platform just outside the main lobby.

Discover thousands of indigenous African shrubs, grasses, and trees—including the most recognized canopy tree in Africa, the Copper Pod. There are two places DVC members can call home at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Villas. Jambo House is part of the resort's central building and has been recognized for its environmentally responsible practices by the Florida Green Lodging Program. The Kidani Village Villas are separated from Jambo House and extend out and take the shape of a water buffalo’s horns or a piece of native African jewelry. There’s no shortage of exciting family activities at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Villas, from safaris to water slides to wildlife games. Amenities include two pool areas (complete with waterslides and hot tubs), a playground that overlooks a flamingo habitat, and wildlife viewing through observation stations located throughout the property.
