Perks? This restaurant is located in one of the most beautiful resorts in all of Walt Disney World.  From the moment you arrive, you will be immersed in the African culture and the food does not disappoint.  When you finish up your meal, you can take a stroll outside in the back to see all of the different animals wondering around the savannah.  It's a real treat! 
Why so special?  Boma's buffet is set up with "pods".  Each pod has a different selection of food with a chef nearby to answer any questions.  Boma is well known for their amazing soups at dinnertime.  Many make reservations for this restaurant for the soups alone.  They also offer zebra domes on the buffet at dinnertime as well.  When dinner begins, the entire resort is filled with the sound of drums.  It is quite the ceremony!   
Personal Experience: I have been here three times for dinner and once for breakfast.  I cannot go to Disney and not go to Boma.  It is a MUST do for me.
