What we love

One of the most fun resorts, with savanna-view rooms and plenty of opportunities to see the animals on the grounds
Home to more than 30 species of African wildlife — more than 250 animals — plus plenty of public viewing areas
Sleeps up to 12 in the 3-bedroom grand villa
Best buffet on property at Boma, which serves American and traditional African dishes
Spectacular lobby with incredible art throughout
Uzima Springs is one of the largest pools on property at 11,000 square feet
Hotel is designed to maximize views of the savannas and animals

Keep in Mind

Hotel charges $24 per night (sales tax included) for overnight self-parking
Hotel charges $33 per night (sales tax included) for valet parking
Furthest deluxe resort from Magic Kingdom® Park
Not on monorail or accessible to the parks by boat; requires bus or car
No quiet pools
Maximum occupancy for standard room with 2 beds is 4
Furthest rooms are about a 10-minute walk to the lobby, pool and bus stops
Smaller standard room sizes than some of the other deluxes
No water recreational activities

Notable Facts

The lodge was designed by Peter Dominick, who also designed Disney's Wilderness Lodge
Rooms are designed in a semi-circle, following Kraal African village design, to maximize views of the savannahs and animals
There are 3 savannas on property — Sunset, Arusha and Uzima — each with its own look and feel
Ostriches are only found in the Sunset savanna; zebras are found in Arusha; giraffes are the only animal found on all 3 savannas

Frog Family Tips

Consider upgrading to a savanna-view room; the view is worth it!
Victoria Falls Lounge gets very popular; if it's crowded, try the bar inside Jiko - The Cooking Place
Pick up an animal viewing guide from the front desk if you don't find one in your room
Request a room on the higher floors for more expansive views; request a room on the second floor to be closer to the animals; the third floor is likely the sweet spot
The Zebra trail rooms facing the Uzima savanna offer more unspoiled views; the Arusha savanna includes a large rock formation and public viewing area

Best For

Animal-loving families, especially larger families with longer stays, who are looking for kitchenettes or full kitchens, in-room washers and dryers, and deluxe-level amenities
