We love AKV.
We prefer the 1 bedroom at Kidani because of the extra bathroom. It is great getting everyone ready in the morning, or quick showers after swimming.
We also love our savanna view, it is great seeing the giraffe and zebra.
I think depending on what you are interested in either house would be good to stay in.
I like that Kidani is away from the hustle and bustle of the main house but I also love the main house for dining.
We have never cared about traveling time to and from the parks or to dining. That has never been a concern of ours. We also drive so travel time is not big deal and we drive to Jambo to eat at Mara or to the parks.
I have a bus problem
but that is for another message board.
We have always had exceptional service from the cast members at AKV. In fact, we have had exceptional service from all the DVC resorts and non-DVC resorts we have stayed at. I would say our best experience was at BCV but AKV is still our favorite. We like the theme, the pools, dining, and animals at AKV.
Good Luck in your decision.
