Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge Villas Recreation

Since the villas are offered at both Kidani Village and Jambo house, guests are free to use the facilities at both areas.

Jambo House

At Jambo House, you have a single swimming pool called the Uzima Pool. It is a 11,000 square-foot, zero-depth entry pool and includes a 67-foot long water slide. The pool is designed to look like an African watering hole (this used to work much better as the pool bottom was painted brown however during a refurbishment it was painted back to blue). This is a great pool to relax at. A kids pool is located close by in addition to a hot tub. Behind the pool there is a pink flamingo exhibit, and just behind that is the savannah. Multiple walkways take you around the savannah area from the pool.

Other recreational activities at Jambo House include:
