AKL Jambo rooms

[mwes1231]

Staying at AKL-Jambo, Savanna view studio. Does anyone have any specific rooms to request through Touring Plans, or should I just request "near lobby"? Using DVC points, so restricted to 5th floor. Thanks!

I always request near lobby at Kidani Village, if I was staying at Jambo I'd definitely do the same. I seldom feel like I ever get it though, I feel like there's a lot of leeway in what people define as "near" lobby.

Thanks. I'm wondering if it would be better to request a specific room range through Touring Plans?

That's what I'd do, It's a shame that you're restricted to 5th floor at Jambo, the last time we were at Kidani we got the 5th floor about mid-way through the northern half of the resort and I don't feel our Savannah View was as good as it would have been on floors 2 or 3, I feel like it was heavily obstructed by tree tops where you couldn't see as far as if you were on a lower floor.

I never seem to be able to book Jambo house even though I always want to stay there.

Just select Arusha Savanna.

We had our best view in 5th floor studio on Sunset Safari, room 5256. It was on the Kudu Trail close to elevator. Saw lots of animals with giraffe feeder nearby for close view and a nice view of Kidani. You can check out the view from that room on TP site(or one close to it). If we are able to stay again, I would request that room, along with Sunset Safari, Kudu Trail in case that room is not open, or Sunset Safari near elevator if that is impt.

We were in 5509 in a Savanna View Studio in 2014 and it was a perfect location. I would highly recommend that area!
Zebra Trail - great views and right near the elevator to go down to pool and quick service restaurant and laundry room.
