The Durban spiced roasted chicken is delicious whilst the prime rib, served with optional African sauces, melts in your mouth.  Banana Leaf Wrap Seafood (either Sea Bass or Salmon) and Pepper Steak along with casseroles, potatoes with “Afritude”, pap, couscous and falafel make up some of the numerous choices on offer.

A children’s buffet is always available serving a variety of favourites including spaghetti with meatballs and macaroni cheese and fries.  If you have any room left then be sure to head for the dessert table.

Zebra domes, banana bread pudding with vanilla sauce, coconut tiramisu, brownies and many more from which to choose.  Non-alcoholic drinks, tea, coffee and hot chocolate are all included in the price. We would definitely recommend you make reservations if you wish to eat at Boma otherwise you might have a long wait at busy periods.  You could however use the waiting time to look around the Animal Kingdom Lodge and view the animals out in the savannah.  The lobby with its distinctive African theme offers amazing architecture five storeys high featuring a pedestrian bridge at the very top.

As you head outside a campfire is surrounded by rocking chairs where you can relax and imagine yourself in the African bush surrounded by Giraffes, Zebra, Thomson's Gazelle and Ostrich all of which you can see from the raised platforms at the Lodge.

The last time we visited Boma we went outside after our meal and were able to view the animals through night vision binoculars.  Besides seeing the animals and the surroundings the night vision binoculars were quite amazing and it is well worth a visit if you are there after dark.

We would recommend eating at 'Boma - Flavors of Africa' at least once during your vacation in Orlando.

To make a reservation call WDW-DINE (407-939-3463).  Telephone calls to Walt Disney World are free from our home.
