We just returned from 9 nights at AKL. We stayed in 2 different rooms both of which were great but for animal viewing, we preferred our room on the second floor - room 2303. The CM referred to it as "eye level" and it definitely was. This was on the Kudo Trail, Arusha Savannah. We moved to room 5505 for Concierege service and it was a great room too but not quite as good for animal viewing because we had to look down through some tree tops. This was on the Zebra Trail, Arusha Savannah. So I would definitely recommend the second floor.
