Animal Kingdom Lodge Jambo House is rich in themeing, artwork, and cultural representative Cast Members. Compaed to the neighboring Kidani Village, this building is more bustling since it has the large gift shops, two restaurants, a bar, and a quick service restaurant. Like Kidani, the animals make this resort unique and relaxing, and the Animal Kingdom Lodge has the best schedule of free activities! Some people think Animal Kingdom Lodge is far from everything, but it's not far from Epcot and Hollywood Studios, and it's maybe a 15-20 minute bus ride to Magic Kingdom, but the same can be said for the trip from Magic Kingdom resorts to Animal Kingdom

PROS

• Animals (and artwork) make the resort so unique and relaxing!
• Close bus ride to Animal Kingdom
• No dedicated 2-BR (all lock-offs, so the second bedroom has a real queen bed and a pullout sofa)
• Has the only Club level DVC rooms at Disney World 
• Has an amazing schedule of free activities (animal feedings, cookie decorating, face painting, art tours)
• Fun to learn from the cultural representative Cast Members
• Great food options with two sit-down restaurants and one quick service (and you also have an additional sit down restaurant Sanaa at Kidani just a short walk or shuttle ride away)
• Zero entry pool 
• Has a mini spa with massages

CONS

• DVC villas are on the 5th floor at Jambo House, so you're further from the animals in the saannah view rooms here (though some people like higher floors for a wider view). At Kidani you can be as low as the 2nd floor.
• Have to take buses to all of the parks (though I find the buses at Animal Kingdom to be very efficient)
• The buses to the theme parks stop at Kidani before Jambo, so the bus could be full during busy times
• Hallways can be long, but they seem longer at Kidani
• Not much grounds to walk around (besides the pool area and savannah overlooks, though Jambo House's outdoor public spaces are bigger than Kidani's)
• Studios only fit 4
