Overview of Disney's Animal Kingdom
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.
