Uzima Springs Pool Bar

Tucked beneath a thatched canopy just steps from the sprawling, 11,000-square-foot Uzima Springs Pool, this open-air bar is the watering hole of choice for Jambo House guests. Surrounded by lush, tropical greenery and sitting right around the corner from the resort’s flamingo habitat, the vibe here is incredibly relaxed and secluded. It feels less like a standard, chaotic resort pool bar and more like a hidden oasis on the savanna.

The menu features a reliable lineup of Disney’s standard poolside cocktails, alongside a few African-inspired specialty drinks and South African wines that lean into the lodge’s incredible theming. While the food offerings are generally limited to light bites and basic bar snacks, the convenience of grabbing a cold drink in the shade without having to dry off and head inside makes it an essential stop during a resort day.

Uzima Springs Pool Bar isn’t a dining destination, but it is a perfectly executed, heavily themed spot to grab a cold drink during a midday pool break. It’s strictly for guests lounging at Jambo House who want a quick refreshment and a break from the sun.
