Few Disney resorts<\/a> are as popular among families as Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge, and for obvious reasons. This vacation club is teeming with jungle-themed excitement, sophisticated 4.8 star amenities, and the ultimate draw: live animals that wander the resort for guests to admire from their balconies! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The decision to visit this adventurous vacation spot is a no-brainer, especially for animal lovers. The tricky part is deciding whether to stay at Jambo House<\/a> or Kidani Village<\/a>. Both sections of the resort offer access to largely the same nearby amenities, though each has its own specific accommodation style unique to the other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here, we will break down the most notable differences between Jambo and Kidani, and give you some helpful tips as you plan for your stay at either resort:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jambo House<\/strong><\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Many Disney fans are of the opinion that Jambo House is the original Animal Kingdom Villas, as the resort opened in 2001 & the Disney Vacation Club<\/a> rooms\u00a0premiered in 2007. This makes it a good choice for first-time visitors to experience the resort as it was originally intended, and take part in much of the Animal Kingdom Lodge action. The resort is filled with African art throughout and walking through the lobby is an adventure in and of itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rooms & Views<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If you’re looking to get the best savings on your booking, the Disney Vacation Club<\/a> rooms are located on the 5th & 6th floors of the resort, which makes for stunning views. The rooms in Jambo House are a bit smaller than Kidani Village, but the restaurants’ over-the-top theming make it a completely elevated experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are gorgeous paths at the rear of the resort where visitors can walk through to see the critters of the Arusha Savanna, which takes up the entire back of Disney\u2019s Animal Kingdom Lodge. They often have Cast Members out to talk about the animals and it can make for an adventurous day with the family!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When staying in Jambo House, the Uzima Savanna can be seen from the Kudu Trail and Zebra trails of the resort (facing the Northeast). There is also an outdoor walking path on that side of the resort to get a closer look at the flamingos and other wildlife that reside in the area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
