The hotel offers amenities for your comfortable stay and unforgettable experiences

Stunning Savannah View

Our savannah view room was a highlight of our stay. We spent hours watching the animals right outside our balcony, which truly made the trip lovely. The sheer joy of seeing giraffes and zebras up close from the comfort of our room was very nice.

Fun for the Kids

The community room was a great space for my kids to engage in various activities. They enjoyed crafts and trivia games, making new friends while we adults relaxed. It was a wonderful way to keep them entertained while we took a break.

Our stay at Kidani Village had its ups and downs. The resort offers great savanna views from the rooms, which was a highlight for us. However, we found the transportation to the parks a little cumbersome and the dining options very limited within the resort, which detracted from our experience overall.

Staying at Kidani Village was an unforgettable experience for our family. The savanna view from our room was truly breathtaking, and the spacious accommodations made it feel like home away from home. The pool area offered great fun for the kids, but the dining options could be more convenient, as we had to walk to Jambo House for quick bites.

Our stay at Kidani Village was an unforgettable experience with breathtaking savanna views right from our balcony. The spacious rooms were great for family gatherings, but the resort layout was quite extensive, making navigation a bit wearisome after a few days.
