Dining

Jiko - The Cooking Place

African Cuisine

Discover a delicious blend of traditional African, Indian and Mediterranean cuisine. Steak, chicken, seafood and plant-based dishes are infused with a uniquely bold blend of tantalizing flavors and fragrant spices.

Changing seasonally, the menu may include flavor bursting appetizers like imaginative brick oven-fired flatbreads and mouth-watering entrées such as oak-grilled filet mignon.
Boma - Flavours of Africa

Family-Friendly Buffets

Under thatched roofs, savor vibrant flavors from over 50 African countries—along with favorite American classics. Greet your day with a cup of full-bodied Kenyan AA coffee, tropical juice and a bountiful breakfast buffet. Selections may include made-to-order omelets, French toast bread pudding, pastries, carved ham, fresh fruit and turkey bobotie—a type of South African quiche.

At dinner, watch chefs prepare Oak roasted meats, vegetarian specialties, coastal seafood dishes, fresh salads and house-baked pastries in the onstage kitchen. Guests 21 years of age and up delight in unique South African wines—many of which are available by the glass.

Advance reservations are highly recommended.
Sanaa

Experience the art of African cooking with Indian flavors, as exotic animals roam the Sunset Savanna before you.
Victoria Falls Lounge

Sample suds from South Africa before or after dinner inside this intimate bar overlooking Boma restaurant. A host of South African wines are also featured, all of which can be enjoyed in the flickering ambience of the fire pit outside.
Uzima Springs

Invigorate your senses at this “spring of life” with cocktails, frozen drinks and more! Sip on a glass of sangria beneath the thatched hut or pop the top off a bottle of African beer.
The Mara

Named for a river flowing through Kenya and Tanzania, this savanna-like space serves classic entrees and grab n' go favorites.

Ticketing as always is excellent. The collection of the magic band however, not so good as it involved a trip to Disney Springs the night of our arrival. Surely there are outlets in Disney park or hotels that could provide the service? As an aside... Disney had limits on entry during and post COVID, that have now been discontinued. The number of people entering the parks during our stay was outrageous and very unpleasant. Not Attraction Tickets fault, but something for your customers to consider.
