What Makes This Resort Hotel Unique
Pool with Waterslide
Make a splash at this tropical oasis, featuring an enchanting heated pool and exciting water playground.
Relax at Samawati Springs Pool, surrounded by Floridian palms and large canopy trees. Breeze down the 128-foot-long waterslide, unwind in 2 whirlpool spas and delight in a gently sloping, zero-depth entry point similar to that of a natural beach.
Kids of all ages can explore Uwanja Camp, an animal observation site-themed water playground brimming with splashtacular fun—including gentle geysers, a squirting flower garden, water cannons and more!
Exotic Animals
Discover over 200 hoofed animals and birds, including zebras, giraffes, gazelles, kudu and flamingos. Identify each species with a Wildlife Field Guide (found in your Guest Room, with extras available from the Lobby Concierge), and learn more about African animals and ecosystems in fun programs led by Animal Specialists.
Guests of Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge & Villas can also enjoy the Wanyama Safari and Dinner for up-close animal encounters followed by a multi-course, South African feast.
Sanaa
Savor slow-cooked meats and vegetarian specialties as animals roam the savanna before you.
