What's it like? do you have any photo's or video? We are wondering cause of a possible trip that we are planning. How is the sunrise safari? what is the cost? what time does it meet? what all is extras for concierge rooms? which floor for savannah view room? Thank you in advance for any help you can give:thumbsup2
 
CL level at AKV is limited to five 2 bedroom lock off units on the 6th floor on either side of the lobby area of Jambo. You need to book it at right at 9 AM at the 11 month window. There are 3 lock offs on the savanna side and 2 on the pool view side. You can request, but it is NOT guaranteed. The roof hangs out over your balcony. We think the roof is a neat feature, but it does inhibit your view greatly. Also if you happen to get the savannah view, both Handicapped Accessible units are on that side, so your chances of getting HA are greater with that view. Frankly, we have stayed on both CL views, and we actually prefer the pool view. There are plenty of other areas at the resort to get better views of the animals than you will from a savannah CL room.

Sunrise safari when we did it was $60, I think. IT was marvelous, and we had the animal curator from AKL as our guide. He was amazing! The breakfast was great too. We also got a sizeable discount on the Wanyama (sunset) safari at the lodge when we stayed CL. Someone said they thought it was now the same price for everyone, but I haven't confirmed that.

Extras for CL rooms are daiy maid service, turn down service with a chocolate on your pillow, concierge booking service,daily newspaper, breakfast and snacks available throughout the day and a dessert offering at night. Coffee, tea, milk, soft drinks, beer etc are available as much as you want any time.
 
The h/a rooms are laid out differently. There are no h/a studios and the one bedroom does NOT have the whirlpool tub- in fact no tub at all. Also the kitchen is open without the breakfast bar in the middle. Please do not request h/a if you don't need it. Those of us who must have a roll-in shower have two issues with CL level to start with- #1- you can't get a studio so you are forced to use more points to get a 1 bedroom villa, and #2- there's even less inventory than for regular rooms.---Kathy
 
We did it last December and it was marvelous. The Sunrise safari was around $60 and worth every penny. We must have been out on the Savanah for about an hour and a half. Our guide Bethany was great. Giving us lots of tips on the animals as well as her experiences with many of them. One of the best memories we've had.
