We will be arriving at AKV two weeks from today. We have a savannah view studio. I really have my heart set on seeing giraffes from my balcony. This was the reason we bought AKV! I just love them! So my question is where should I try to request at check in to have the best chance of seeing giraffes from my balcony?
I plan on camping out at the check in desk until my request is met! :goodvibes
This is our 15th anniversary and I really want the trip to be special!

We had a studio overlooking the Uzima savanna in May and saw the giraffes alot, it was great as they had baby Makena there :)

We had Arusha view (inside the U of the U-shaped building) and giraffes were there. I believe they can wander throughout any of the three savannas (which includes Uzima on the right side of that U and Sunset on the left side).

They have giraffes on all three savannas. They separate the boys from the girls so depending on which savanna you are on, you will have either males or females but not both other than youngsters living with their mom. As Claire said, they have a baby giraffe and also an adolescent on the Uzima Savanna. Here is a photo I took of them while on the Wanyama Safari:
