No, the Jambo 1 br.s only have one bathroom.
Unfortunately the value 1 bedroom only sleeps 4 and does not include the sleeper chair.
Correct, although I’ve never stayed in those point friendly value villas, OP is staying in a standard view 1 br. which is why I mentioned the sleeper chairs not shown in the floor plan I found
.
Indeed, in fact the first time I stayed at AKL it was in a cash room on the 5th floor before those rooms were converted to DVC and before Kidani existed.
Us, too! Turned out to be a very expensive stay - we bought DVC there later when it became available since we loved the resort so much!
Ahh ok. Sorry I thought you were just referring to the missing door.Correct, although I’ve never stayed in those point friendly value villas, OP is staying in a standard view 1 br. which is why I mentioned the sleeper chairs not shown in the floor plan I found
Kidani has a lot of positives & I think about staying there every time I stay at AKL, but w/ a standard view I feel like I have a much higher chance of getting a savanna view when I book a standard view at Jambo since over 50% of the Jambo standards overlook Sunset or Uzima savannas compared to the handful of Kidani standard view villas that have views of the small Pembe savanna.

The savanna view villas facing Sunset savanna have the best views from Jambo of that savanna, the standard views aren’t as good as they’re limited by the projections of the building’s arms into the savanna, or they overlook the people pen, or they’re at the far end of Kudu trail & overlook a narrow part of the savanna. W/ standard view you also could end up overlooking the pool/roof.
. I’d love to get one of the standard views over by Uzima savanna’s barn on Zebra trail, but am afraid to request that since the room assigner might think all Zebra trail villas are the same & I’d end up w/ a view of H. sapiens in the pool.
Originally, the only standard view rooms at Jambo were those overlooking the pool area. All the rooms on the Sunset savanna side, other than the value rooms and club level, were savanna view. The switch, which turned a lot of savanna view rooms overlooking Sunset and Uzima savannas into Standard view, occurred Jan 2012 (change was known a year before then when they released the 2012 point charts). None of the rooms overlooking Arusha savanna in the center of the Jambo resort were changed. At that time there was also a increase in the points needed for savanna view rooms by the shifting of points to them from the rooms that were converted to standard view. As a result of the change, the total number of standard view rooms at Jambo are now close to the same number as the savanna view rooms at Jambo.
With only one bedroom, I agree this is the better layout as the people sleeping on the couch will not disturb those in the bedroom.
Haha. When I request Zebra Trail, more than 50% of the time the member services person says, " So you want a room that looks at Zebras. Of course we cannot guarantee that, etc, etc " I explain that it is the name of one of the hallways, etc, but they don't seem to understand. I usually call back closer to check in to see what they wrote for the request.The savanna view villas facing Sunset savanna have the best views from Jambo of that savanna, the standard views aren’t as good as they’re limited by the projections of the building’s arms into the savanna, or they overlook the people pen, or they’re at the far end of Kudu trail & overlook a narrow part of the savanna.

When I book standard view I request Kudu trail since I’m not 100% sure that the room assigner will even know what or where Sunset savanna is
