Thanks to everyone for their input. We booked the Sunrise Safari yesterday. I'm still thinking about the night vision safari, but probably will just stick to one extra safari this trip. Thanks again for your input which helped me make the decision.

Just reserved WS for first Friday in March,DH and I are staying CL and really look forward to this, I think it is just sheer luck that I was able to reserve a one bedroom CL. Do not know yet where we will stay before and after our one night in AKL paradise,but, no worries, we will figure it out.

Sounds great! You'll have to let me know how you like the safari!

Night vision safari? What night vision safari?

More info please!

I think the night vision safari is the same as the Wanyama Safari only it takes place after dark. I'm fairly sure it is at AKL on their savannah, and guests receive night visions goggles for it. I think it is the same price as Wanyama and includes the same things, except that it takes place in the dark. I will look back through my email to see if I have any more info.

That's interesting... I don't think that was an option when we were there. There was just the "night vision" viewing area off of the swimming pool. There was just some CMs there and we had to wait in a short line to look through the goggles.
