Disney's Animal Kingdom Villas - Kidani Village, Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge
About
This restaurant is located at Kidani Village in Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge. Large windows look out directly onto the Sunset Savanna, where animals like giraffes, zebras, and gazelles roam freely. The interior features rich African-inspired decor, handcrafted beadwork, and woven baskets under a simulated acacia tree canopy. Guests can watch wildlife graze while dining on a fusion of East African and Indian flavors. It is one of the only table-service venues on Disney property where you can watch exotic animals during your meal.
How to Get There
Sanaa is located on the ground floor of Kidani Village, which is the Disney Vacation Club section of Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge. To get there, take a Disney resort bus directly to Kidani Village from any of the theme parks or Disney Springs. If you are starting at Jambo House, the main building of the resort, you can take a short walk along the pedestrian path or board the resort shuttle van that runs between the two buildings.
Menu Highlights
The signature dish is the Indian-style bread service, which comes with five types of naan and nine different accompaniments ranging from sweet mango chutney to spicy red chile sambal. Main courses include slow-cooked meats and seafood like butter chicken, spicy durban shrimp, and pork vindaloo. Vegetarian options are plentiful, featuring dishes like chickpea wat and lentil dahl. You can pair your meal with South African wines, specialty cocktails, or a non-alcoholic mango lassi.
