We have a trip planned for February 2016.
We need accessible for my brother and his wife traveling with us.
We requested and received a 2 bedroom lock-off
standard accessible at Jambo House.
Anyone have any idea where this maybe ?
 
I don't off of the top of my head. When we stayed at Jambo, there was an accessible room on the 5th floor by the elevator, but, I don't know if it was a 1,2, or studio. Giraffe wing I believe.
 

Here is a list of the HA rooms in Jambo House:

Code:
Jambo House HA rooms with a roll-in shower:

Room Size Category  Trail  View  Comments
5456  ST  Std View  Zebra  Pool  Roll-in shower
5319  1B  Sav View  Kudu  Arusha  Roll-in shower, no tub *
5483  GV  Sav View  Zebra  Uzima  Roll-in shower in master bathroom
6202  1B  Concierge Lobby  Sunset  Roll-in shower, no tub. No kitchen island. *


Jambo House HA rooms with a tub (no roll-in shower):

Room Size Category  Trail  View  Comments
5010  1B  Value  Giraffe  Pool  HA room with tub. No kitchen island. *
5414  1B  Std View  Zebra  Pool  HA room with tub
5205  1B  Sav View  Lobby  Sunset  HA room with tub
5431  1B  Sav View  Zebra  Arusha  HA room with tub. No kitchen island. *
5216  1B  Sav View  Kudu  Sunset  HA room with tub
6205  1B  Concierge Lobby  Sunset  HA room with tub. No kitchen island. *

* Information verified via a room report

As you can see there is one HA Standard View studio and one HA Standard View 1BR. The studio (room 5456) has a roll-in shower, the 1BR does not. If you booked an HA Standard 2BR lockoff with a roll-in shower then I would expect you would be assigned that HA Studio and whichever 1BR is attached to it. If you wanted the 1BR part of the 2BR lockoff to be HA and did not need a roll-in shower then I suspect you will be in room 5414 and whichever studio is attached to it.

ETA: I cross checked this list with the list of reclassified rooms (from Savanna View to Standard View) to see if there were any other possibilities. I see that the room next to 5205 is a reclassified room. It's possible that 5205 may have been reclassified as well though we've had no reports of it being reclassified. If it has, then it would be another possible room assignment for you. Room 5205 is a 1BR with a tub (no roll-in shower).

You are amazing with this info.
Bet 5456 will be it - will report back in February after our trip.
Thanks.

Please do report back after your trip. As you can see from the list of HA rooms, we have confirmation of some of the HA rooms but not all. I'll be interested to hear which room you were assigned. Have a great trip!

Nice view! So was my information correct that only the studio side is HA, or was there anything about the 1BR portion that was also HA?

Thanks for reporting back.
