Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between Jambo House and Kidani Village?
Jambo House is the original building with a grand lobby and Boma restaurant. Kidani Village was added later with more DVC rooms, its own pool complex (Samawati Springs), and closer savanna views. Both share DVC amenities and point charts are similar.
Can I see animals from my room at Animal Kingdom Villas?
Yes — if you book a savanna-view room. These rooms overlook the resort's private savannas where zebras, giraffes, and other animals roam. Standard-view rooms face parking areas or pools instead.
When does the Animal Kingdom Villas DVC contract expire?
Animal Kingdom Villas contracts expire on January 31, 2057, giving buyers over 30 years of remaining use.
