Every animal is trained to participate in their own healthcare and have learned visual, audio, and even smell queues to know when it’s their turn to head to the barn! If you want to see more about this you can check out the documentary on Disney+ about Animal Kingdom and the animal care team there!Īnother smaller savanna is called Pembe and it is only viewable from Kidani Village rooms and the Kidani pool overlook. The two hours they are not on the savanna the animals are inside their barns or holding areas either training, being fed their pelleted diets, or having check-ups with the vets. Reticulated giraffe are located on both savannas and Masai giraffe are at Kilimanjaro Safaris inside the theme park. Every animal spends 22 hours a day on the savannas so it is very likely to spot them from the viewing areas around the lobbies and pools at Jambo House and Kidani Village. Each savanna is home to various hoofed and winged animals who are cared for 24 hours a day just like those at Animal Kingdom. There are 6 savannas at AKL and we were able to view 2 of them, Sunset Savanna and Arusha Savanna. You are in an open-air vehicle and the tour occurs rain or shine, subject to change as these are wild animals you’re viewing, their comfort and protection, along with your safety, are always priority. You check-in with the Safari staff (beside the Valet parking desk) outside the lobby at Kidani Village and load onto the truck where you will be given night vision goggles and a CM from AKL savanna’s care team is your guide for the roughly 1 hour tour. You can reserve your safari using this link, it’s $89 per person (AP & DVC discounts do apply), and you must be at least 8 years old to participate. There are 2 safaris every night and advanced reservations are required. Last night I had the honor of participating in the return of the Starlight Safari at Animal Kingdom Lodge at Walt Disney World.
