Kidani has an incredible water play area for younger children. The slide is much longer there. There are two jacuzzi's, but both are very open (in the sunlight), whereas the two at Jambo are both secluded In lovely shaded areas. I agree that it is usually quieter at Kidani pool. The pool at Jambo is much larger, there are at least double the lounge chairs and lounging areas, and more animal viewing there. You are right outside of the Mara QS, and the arcade at the Jambo pool. My vote is for Jambo if we are spending an afternoon, and Kidani if we are just going for a dip.
