Disney Kidani Village Map and Brochure (2019 – 2021)
Built in a graceful horseshoe around its private savanna, Kidani Village rewards slow wandering more than quick shortcuts. The Disney Kidani Village map highlights just how spread out the resort really is—each hallway curving toward animal overlooks, the pool zone, and the walkway to Jambo House. It’s essential for timing tram stops, locating dining at Sanaa, and plotting routes to the bus depot before the fireworks crowd hits.

The best tip? Follow the inner corridor until you see the bridge over the lobby’s stone terrace—it’s a quiet perch to watch giraffes before breakfast.
