Hi,

I was thinking of doing culinary tour at Animal Kingdom Lodge at 4 pm so either do lunch before the tour or dinner after the tour at Saana.

I looked at the map and it looks like there's bus stop in front of the lodge but Saana looks far(?) from Boma where the tour is? So I was wondering how far is Saana from Boma? How do I get to Point A to Point B?

I'll be going to AK Lodge from Pop. What would be the best way to get there? From Pop, go to AK, then bus to AK lodge?

Thank you
 
Sanaa is in Kidani village which is in a separate building housing dvc rooms. The bus from parks stops at Kidani and then onto Animal Kingdom Lodge so you can get off at both from the bus. The Disney Springs bus goes the opposite and stops at the animal kingdom lodge before going to Kidani. So you can ride the buses in between or just do the short 5 minute walk as the are not far apart

By looking at the map on Disney site, it didn't look like there was bus stop for Sanaa and didn't see walk pathway.

AKL has two bus stops. The park bus always goes to Kidani first (where Sanaa is), then Jambo house (where Boma and Jiko are).

There is also an internal shuttle (it's a 15 passenger van) that runs back and forth from Kidani to Jambo about every 10 or 15 minutes, which is very handy.

It's only about a 5 minute walk from one to the other if you choose to walk.

I also wanted to mention that there are two separate tours: There is a tour of Sanaa, and there is also a tour of Boma and Jiko. We did both tours when we stayed at AKL, and they were both fun and informative. I don't think it's possible to do them both on the same day, as they kind of overlap time wise, but you can't go wrong with either of them.

Jiko is in Jambo House down the hall from Boma, not in Kidani.

We also stay at Pop.
Two years ago we took the bus to Animal Kingdom, then got the bus to Animal Kingdom Lodge when we had lunch with an animal expert at Sanaa.
A few months ago when we went to AKL for culinary tour and dinner at Boma, we used Uber. It was quicker and didn't cost too much. However, the driver was confused and read her directions wrong. She went to Animal Kingdom theme park. We had to correct and reroute her to AKL.
