The savanna that almost completely surrounds the resort is home to wildlife that is free to roam as close as 30 feet from the resort. The lobby features a 50-foot fireplace. Concierge rooms are on the sixth floor. The entrance to the lodge is at the third floor level. A cast member tells African stories nightly by the glass wall that separates the firepit from the lobby.
Standard rooms face the driveway.
Other rooms face the animals. Rooms are attached to the main building in wings, as opposed to being entirely separate buildings. The 30-minute show, in four acts, features 27 performers, including singers, acrobats and the stars from the movie, Tarzan, Jane and Terk. Elaborate jungle sets, dazzling costumes, songs from the movie soundtrack, and action sequences that take place in and over the audience make for an entertaining show. Conservation Station in Africa shows visitors how Disney cares for the animals.
