Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge

Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge is an African lodge-style resort amidst a 46-acre wildlife preserve. One of 8 Disney Deluxe Resort hotels, Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge is located in the Disney's Animal Kingdom theme park area.

Featuring over 30 species of wildlife that roam amidst 4 lush, tropical savannas, Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge offers you the unique opportunity to observe exotic animals from special viewing areas throughout the Resort—and from the balconies of select Guest rooms.

Standing over 6 stories tall, Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge, Jambo House and Kidani Village includes 1681 rooms, authentic African-inspired architecture and the kraal African-village landscape design—a semi-circle design popular in Africa which offers expansive views of the surrounding savanna and its many animal inhabitants. Thatched ceilings, large beams, a woven ceiling, hand-carved golden-tone furnishings, real African artifacts and a vast mud fireplace in the main lobby surround you in the inimitable spirit of Africa.

The main Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge building is called the Jambo House. Just outside the 4-story main lobby, an elevated rock platform—Arusha Rock—offers up-close glimpses of the animals and a panoramic view of the sprawling grounds. In addition to animals, thousands of indigenous African shrubs and grasses—including the most recognized canopy tree of Africa, the copperpod—paint a picture reminiscent of the unspoiled grasslands of Africa.

The Sunset savanna, the Arusha savanna, the Uzima savanna, and the Pembe savanna are the 4 savannas located at Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge. Each savanna features a unique look and feel, and is home to different exotic animals. Throughout the hotel, there are alcoves with glass windows that provide views of the savannas. Guests can view animals for 24 hours a day;
