Magic Touches

The lobby and the Villas of Disney's Animal Kingdom Villas - Kidani Village extend out and take the curlicue shape of a water buffalo's horns. This string of buildings can also be viewed as a piece of native African jewellery, a 'necklace' with Villas forming the beads, garden-like walkways creating the "knots" in between and the main lobby building as the ornament or jewel at its centre.
Dining

Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge - Kidani Villas gives guests the opportunity to try authentic African cuisine, with dishes like grilled seafood and roasted meats inspired by the flavours of over 50 African countries. There’s also American classics like burgers and pizza.
