About Boma - Flavors of Africa

The word “boma” refers to an African gathering place — a communal space for warmth, food, and storytelling — and the restaurant fully embodies that spirit. Located within Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge, Boma immerses guests in a warm, lantern-lit atmosphere with thatched ceilings, hand-carved wooden accents, and the lively energy of an open marketplace kitchen.

The restaurant has earned a devoted following since the Animal Kingdom Lodge opened in 2001, consistently ranking among the most beloved buffets at Walt Disney World. Its success lies in a genuine commitment to authentic African culinary traditions alongside approachable American dishes — a balance that works for adventurous eaters and picky eaters alike.

Arriving for dinner at the Animal Kingdom Lodge carries a bonus unavailable anywhere else on Disney property: guests can step outside after the meal to observe the resort’s real African savanna, home to giraffes, zebras, flamingos, and dozens of other species. Boma itself offers views into the resort’s atrium and savanna-facing areas, extending the immersive lodge experience throughout the meal.

For families looking to try something outside the usual Disney dining circuit, Boma is one of the most consistently rewarding choices on property. The Zebra Domes alone have earned this restaurant a permanent place on countless “must-eat” Disney World lists.
