Disney Dining Plan
Boma – Flavors of Africa does accept the Disney Dining Plan – but only the Disney Dining Plan and not the Disney Quick-Service Dining Plan.
Despite being an all-you-care-to-enjoy buffet, it’ll cost the standard one table-service meal credit person to dine here.
Advance Dining Reservations
Like all table-service restaurants across Disney World, Boma – Flavors of Africa is always in high demand. Advance dining reservations (ADRs) are offered, and luckily, they’re often pretty easy to get.
Since Animal Kingdom Lodge is a bit more off the beaten path and Boma isn’t one of the most popular resort restaurants, you should be able to get ADRs for your visit without worry, if you’re planning in advance.
Is Boma – Flavors of Africa Kid-Friendly?
Boma – Flavors of Africa might not sound like the most kid-friendly place to dine, but it’s got two great perks for families: the buffet and its casual atmosphere.
While African-inspired fare is certainly on the menu (and the buffet line) at Boma, there are also plenty of kid-friendly options. If your kids are picky or pickier eaters, they’ll find classics like familiar soups, macaroni and cheese, and even chicken nuggets. More adventurous – or older – kids can also try the more eclectic dishes with bolder flavors.
And if you’re worried about toddlers who might not be the quietest during meals or kids who are wiggly and like to get out of their seats, you won’t have to worry at Boma. The laid-back atmosphere and buffet setup here make the restaurant louder than most, and people across the dining room are up and out of their seats frequently as they head to the buffet.
