Review: Kidani Village at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Villas, Page 6

(For the first page of this review of Kidani Village, see this.)

AMENITIES AT KIDANI VILLAGE

Kidani Village is paired with nearby Jambo House and its services and amenities, but is so distant that it also functions as a stand-alone resort–more like Saratoga Springs than like the Beach Club Villas.

See the map (as always on this site, to enlarge it, click it).

Kidani’s layout maximizes views of the savanna, and there are no paths through the savanna.  So those at the far end–marked with an orange “x”–have quite a hike to get to the great amenities and services at the Animal Kingdom Lodge’s Jambo House.

So Kidani was designed with its own drop off (see the top of the page), check-in lobby…

…with a cool view to the savannas beyond…

…and gift shop, with an OK stock for all the kitchens here.

Outside, there’s a bus stop.  Buses are shared with the stop at Jambo House–which means you can use them to get back and forth–just ask the driver or you may end up at Epcot.

You can also walk (to Jambo, not Epcot), or of course drive–although the layout of parking at both facilities means you’ll likely face a bit of walking anyway.

Downstairs from the lobby is the wonderful table-service restaurant Sanaa…

…and its bar.

Sanaa celebrates the African-Indian cuisine that’s been developing for centuries from Indian Ocean trading routes. Here’s the review from The easy Guide to Your First Walt Disney World Visit:

From many parts of Sanaa you can see the savanna and whatever animals may be at play there.

There’s also a path out to savanna viewing areas…

…and a firepit…

…not currently offering roast zebra.

And then there’s the great pool complex!
