VIP Safari Tour of the Savannahs     

Private VIP tour of the Animal Kingdom Lodge savannahs. We were escorted out to the front, where a safari jeep was waiting for us! We got in, and were driven to the Pembe Savannah. We got to learn about how Kidani Village is one of the few places with the okapi. We went over to the Sunset Savannah, which is the one that our room looks out to. We got to see many animals, such as giraffes, zebras, wildebeests, nyalas, cranes, Egyptian longhorns, ostriches, and many more!

We also got to learn all about the training and caretaking that goes into keeping the resort's savannahs in good condition. We learned about how they test out putting new animals into the savannah as well. Our Guide has been with the team since the original Animal Kingdom Lodge opened in 2001, and helped in the development and opening of Kidani Village (the DVC section, which opened in 2009. We had an awesome time on the safari, which gave us some amazing pictures and memories, as well as a better understanding of the immense amount of work that goes into this resort!
