AKL-which pool?

[susanh]

Which swimming pool is best-Kidani or Jambo house?

 

[clayfolks]

I think Kidani is best for young children. It has a great splash and play area.

Kidani is definitely better and not nearly as crowded.

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.

It all depends what you are looking for in a pool....Both are equally impressive.

Jambo is HUGE, and has plenty of chairs scattered throughout. Some even in the shade....I has a nice pool bar, as well as the QS Mara & the TS close by...... Activities a plenty too. The only drawback is the smallish Slide.

Kidani is a lil more intimate....It's well hidden w/ lots of shady spots as well, and has a nice water play area too. It also has a pool bar here. The Slide is waaaay better/longer here too.

I like them both.

Kidani is great for kids and the pool bar is awesome!

I agree with the others - the Kidani pool area and splash park are wonderful for little ones, although my then 3.5 year old loved the Jambo pool and slide on our last trip. My younger daughter was still toddling around on that trip and liked the zero entry pool at Jambo.

Kidani is much better for the little ones but Jambo has flamingos by the pool. Other animals also wonder over, we have seen giraffe there many times as well. Mara (QS) is right by the Jambo pool too.
