It is a beautiful resort. We walk down the stairs to Sanaa.
The greater, Joe, at Jambo had been the one to tell us to inquire at the desk about reservations vs. call ahead. He also suggested we request a window seat. So, Dh jokingly said to the CM's at the desk that Joe sent us & told us to ask for a window seat. The three female cm's didn't even crack a smile. And informed us, they did not know Joe. DH & I were smiling. I even said he's joking. Not so much as a smirk. Oh, ok. Well doesn't one of them come to our table. Yup, our waitress. She may not have been perky & bubbly, but she was fairly efficient. And gave us a great suggestion for which breads & spreads to order. That was about the end of the great food. I am not saying it isn't worth going to. I am saying we are not fans of African foods. My chicken was okay. DH got a duet plate. He enjoys spicy food, but his chicken was very hot, even for him. After the fact the waitress made a comment about needing more water. Which she had mentioned that before he ordered it. Neither of us can remember the name of what we ordered. DD got the....chicken nuggets. Which you will see as the TR goes on, is a theme this trip for her.
We did get our window seat and this was our view:
And sure enough the rains started suddenly and hard. Then this was our view:
This gave us a view of the animals scuttling to find shelter. It was amazing actually. I would suggest if you think it is something you would like to try, you should. It was very expensive. We got the bread with spread as appetizers, the entrees, water and DH got a beer. The total was around $84.
Next up... our room. We reserved a standard view because the cost of dvc points for a savanna view was so much more than the standard we decided to take our chances. I had read the great majority of the Jambo studio rooms have a nice view with animals.
So, did we get a room with a view? Next up.
