We just came back from 6 days at Kidani, and absolutely loved it. We had stayed Jambo before and had wanted to stay there, but it was booked so we "settled" for Kidani. All I can say is both are great. It sounds like you are traveling without kids, but both Jambo and Kidani have free activities for the kids, where on completion you get a really cool "bead" to add to a string. A couple of the beads are exceptionally nice. We didn't realize this until we had almost checked out but did manage to get the prettiest bead. Parents can get one too if they complete the activity. Regarding things to do, night vision has been mentioned and there is a bulletin board at both locations with times of other activities. I'd like to mention the Sanna Lunch with an Animal Specialist. The lunch is offered on Sat. and Wed. only. It takes approx. 1.15 - 1.30 hours and is $50 per adult, payment in advance required. It includes a lunch sampler with appetizer, Sanaa bread & condiments, 2 sampler entrees with rice, plus a dessert sampler and non-alcholic drink. The fee includes tax, tip and a $5 contribution to the wildlife fund. This luncheon was a wonderful experience and gave us the opportunity to ask all kinds of questions about the lodge and the animals. It was topped off with a visit by Chappy the turtle. If you have the time, and want to fully appreciate AKL, this lunch is highly recommended. Also, the pool slide at Kidani is fun, fun, fun and can be enjoyed by both adults and kids. Enjoy your long weekend.
is a special needs adult yet I am hoping that some of these activities I can do with her, without her feeling like she is once again an adult amongst children, as a way of having a great souvenir and something that is relaxing on a day off from the parks.
