Photo Tour: Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge


Step into the heart of Africa at the absolutely stunning Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge.  Located in, not surprisingly, Disney's Animal Kingdom Resort Area, Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge has dazzling pool areas, exciting animal programs and one of the largest collections of African art in the United States.  The horseshoe-curved design of the resort offers spectacular views of lush savannas that are home to over 200 animals and birds.

Outside the lobby, you'll find the one and only bus departure location for Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge. There is another bus stop at Disney's Animal Kingdom Villas - Kidani Village and occasionally your bus may make a stop at Kidani Village to pick up additional guests. Similarly, sometimes your bus may stop at Kidani Village to drop off guests before going to Jambo House. 
You'll find sundries, snacks, souvenirs, African art and more at Zawadi Marketplace located in the resort lobby.

The resort offers spectacular views of the 3 savannas (4 if you count the savanna at Disney's Animal Kingdom Villas - Kidani Village). If you don't want to spend the extra money on a savanna view room, no worries! There are plenty of public areas where you can view the animals.
