Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge Turns Ten

[Isafari]

Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge will celebrate its 10th anniversary April 16.

In case you aren’t familiar with this African-lodge themed resort – which opened its doors in 2001 – it’s one of the only resorts outside the continent of Africa to offer guestrooms with a view of animals roaming an open savanna.

The resort’s 33-acre Sunset Savanna currently is home to more than 200 animals and birds. Although the selection of animals appearing on the savanna often changes, guests at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge may see the likes of giraffe, Ankole cattle, bontebok, eland, zebra, greater kudu, impala, okapi, red river hogs, nyala and more during their stay.
