There was a time that you had to go to the zoo to see wild animals. Today, Disney World Tours offers guests the opportunity to get up close and personal with these creatures as a guest at Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge.
Disney World Safari is a unique deluxe resort that is built around a private animal reserve. In an area that spans 33 acres, there are three separate savannahs that are now home to more than 200 mammals and birds.
The resort lodge has 1,293 rooms. Each one features handcrafted furniture and art from Zimbabwe. Some rooms have butterfly mask designs on their headboard. Those who stay in the suite can't help but notice the dome, hut like living room that has its own dining room, office, kitchen and porches that offer a great view of the savannah.
There is one standard room, concierge level rooms as well as one and two bedroom suites. Some rooms can hold 4 people while others can have as many as eight. Depending on the size of the room you get, you may be sleeping on a bunk, queen or king size bed.
Just before sunset three nights a week, guests are invited to hop aboard a pop top vehicle to see what a typical North African safari is like. Some of the animals you could see throughout the trip include the African spoonbills, the bongo, the greater kudu, the zebra, the wildebeest, the spiral-horned antelope impala, and the pink-back pelicans.
But you don't have to take a ride to see these animals because some of them will roam near your balcony.
Aside from the animals, the food served at this resort is very unique. You can go to Jiko-the cooking place which is considered to be fine dining and enjoy some of South Africa's dishes. Each dish served is paired with some of South Africa's best wines together with sweet desserts. You can also go to Boma: Flavors of Africa that is buffet style, Mara a food court and Victoria Falls which is a lounge.
Other things you can do here are take a dip in the pool that has a 67 foot water slide, enjoy an in room massage and even a facial. There is a play area for children and nightly campfire storytelling given by the cast members.
Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge is 5 miles away from Orlando International Airport. Nightly rates at this place start at $225 per night.
