Why we love it

We love Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge – Jambo House Villas for the incredible savanna views, where you can watch over 200 hoofed animals and birds right from your room! The huge Uzima Springs Pool is perfect for a relaxing dip, and the award-winning dining at Jiko – The Cooking Place adds an unforgettable taste of Africa to your stay. It’s a truly unique Disney experience full of adventure and luxury!
