Overview
An entirely unique Disney experience for guests to enjoy just west of Disney’s Animal Kingdom Theme Park. It’s the thrill of staying at a wildlife reserve with animals grazing just beyond their balcony. Rejuvenate both body and spirit in luxurious surroundings while sharing the grandeur of the African wilderness. The beauty of the savanna, the rhythm of tribal drums, exquisite cuisine in lush settings and the lure of authentic African treasures all come together to celebrate the beauty and wonder of this vast and untamed continent.

TripAdvisor Traveler Rating
Amazing and worth every penny.
Travelbyjess (Scranton, Pennsylvania) on Dec 05, 2025
Bucket List Destination Checked Off the List! Worth every penny and time!!! The rooms were decent and very clean. The balcony overlooking the Sahara is amazing. I loved sitting and watching the animals eating just feet from our room. The pool is spacious, clean and warm. The hot tubs weren't clean which was a little disappointing but you are surrounded by nature so it's forgivable.
An ok hotel

My honest review of this hotel. It’s very nice but I notice the carpet in the halls leading to the rooms are dirty and disgusting. We stayed in the jambo house. Our room was nice but one of the bed lights was hanging and not working. We have a balcony room facing the pool. You can hear everything outside. They start cleaning the pool at 6am and I can hear the machines as if the door is open. Now talking about location. It’s not convenient to any parks. Although it says animal kingdom in the name it’s about a 10-15 min bus ride to the park. I’m used to staying at a hotel where we can just walk to the parks. Everywhere was decorated for Christmas except this hotel. Which is disappointing I thought it would be at least animal theme decor. So I would say nice to stay once and experience it but I wouldn’t stay again.
