If we take a bus to the AKL to visit, is there a place we are able to view the animals?
I would say Jambo. You can walk through the more impressive lobby to the Arusha savanna area. Plus you can still look at the Sunset Savanna (most of Kidani faces Sunset)What is everyone's opinion on which lodge is better for animal viewing (from common areas, for those just visiting)--Kidani or Jambo?
That's the overlook for Pembe savanna I believe, the smallest of AKL's 4 savannas.There is an area outside of the Kidani village lobby (outside of Sanaa) which is amazing. Also, if you walk past the pool/water area at Kidani, there is a small area which is out of the way but has amazing animals.
While I love Jambo house, Kidani has better animal viewing in my opinion.
