Disney's Animal Kingdom Villas is actually two resorts in one; the Jambo House villas occupy the top two floors of the original lodge while Kidani Village is an entirely separate building which opened in 2009.  Highlights of Jambo House include the elaborate lobby, signature restaurant Jiko and the Uzima pool.  However, the DVC villas can be a mixed bag due to the fact that they are all converted hotel rooms, many with unique design idiosyncrasies.
