Overview
An entirely unique Disney experience for guests to enjoy just west of Disney’s Animal Kingdom Theme Park. It’s the thrill of staying at a wildlife reserve with animals grazing just beyond their balcony. Rejuvenate both body and spirit in luxurious surroundings while sharing the grandeur of the African wilderness. The beauty of the savanna, the rhythm of tribal drums, exquisite cuisine in lush settings and the lure of authentic African treasures all come together to celebrate the beauty and wonder of this vast and untamed continent.

Jambo House Ain’t It

This resort is nothing what it advertises. The rooms are definitely showing its age and mousekeeping was non existent. Dumping fresh towels without taking used ones or making beds does not count. Absolutely do NOT pay the additional charges for a Savannah Room. After 4 days the only thing we saw from our room was egrets which we have in our pond at home. We asked for a feeding schedule so we could attempt to schedule around that in an attempt to enjoy our balcony but they could not provide one saying the front desk had no information. We asked for a contact with the animal care team and they would not provide one. We were simply told the animals are free roaming and there was nothing that could be done. We understand that but there is always someway to address concerns. Instead the front desk manager Jeffery was outright rude and told us that he had the power refund us the difference in funds between paying for our Savannah Room and paying for a Standard View but he would not. Ummmm…. Why mention something that he could do but was not willing to? Seemed like he was just trying to make himself feel like a big deal. The whole exchange made no sense as we were not asking for compensation to start with. There are many lovely Disney Resorts but this one should not be included anywhere near the Deluxe resort conversation. If you are going to pay that kind of money stay somewhere with monorail or SkyLiner access.
Don’t bother getting Savannah view room

I booked this hotel because we wanted to see animals from our balcony. I saw 2 giraffes in the distance one day, one zebra the next day, and some birds. I am here now and just got up at 7 am and no animals to be seen on Arusha Savannah. I did see some on the Sunset Savannah side as I walked down the hall. I find it strange that so few are coming this way. The lobby is beautiful and our room was clean and it’s pretty quiet except for some loud neighbors who probably just arrived. They have their little kids screaming on the balcony next door. My kids aren’t crazy about the food. So it’s just ok. Below is a picture of the empty Savannah from my room.
