History

This hotel was designed by architect Peter Dominick, who also designed Disney's Wilderness Lodge and Disney's Grand Californian Hotel & Spa.[1]

On October 11, 2006, Disney announced to local media that Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge would become home to the newest Disney Vacation Club property, Disney's Animal Kingdom Villas. On February 18, 2008, Disney announced the first phase of this expansion was complete, and included 109 rooms.[2] The first phase of Kidani Village opened on May 1, 2009. At that time, the main lodge building was renamed Jambo House. The second phase was expected to open autumn 2009.

A separate building named Kidani Village[3] was built to the west of the lodge and houses more than 300 villas. The Sunset Savanna was extended to the new structure and more species of animals were introduced. When lodging in a villa, guests can now stay on the club level. A concierge lounge serves a number of floors. A new pool exclusive to villa residents was built. It is more spacious than the villa pool sizes, and features water slides and an aquatic playground.[citation needed]

Dining

  • Jiko: The Cooking Place — Features African-style cooking with influences from the Mediterranean coast, India and Europe. Jiko also features South African vintage wines. The restaurant was designed by designer Jeffrey Beers[4] and emulates an African lodge with a color palette in earth tones. The dining room surrounds an open kitchen which includes twin wood-burning stoves. The private Cape Town Wine Room seats up to forty guests and showcases a collection of wine-based sculptures.[5] Jiko means "a cooking place" in Swahili, thus the restaurant's subtitle "The Cooking Place".
  • Boma: Flavors of Africa — Features African-style cooking in a buffet setting. The selection features items from fifty different African countries.[6] The restaurant was designed to resemble an open African marketplace. Food is prepared in view of diners in open cooking areas which allows for interaction between chefs, cooks, and patrons.[7] Boma is a word in Swahili and several other African languages, meaning an enclosure, such as a fort or a livestock pen.[8]
  • The Mara — Counter service restaurant serving American food.
  • Sanaa — Located in Kidani Village, this restaurant specializes in African Cuisine with Indian flavors and overlooks the savannah. Sanaa means "works of art" in Swahili.
