Animal Kingdom Lodge has two parts - Jambo House is the main part of the “regular” Animal Kingdom lodge hotel. Kidani Village is the DVC section. They are walkable between the two although it’s a healthy walk. They also used to share a bus so you could just take the bus there/back, although I thought I read a recent report here that they weren’t sharing recently but it’s possible that’s a seasonal thing.
Here’s the Touring Plans link for AKL Jambo:
And here’s the Kidani write-up:
The biggest difference is just regular DIS resort vs. DVC though although I think more amenities are an easier walk from Jambo house.
