Bob, I love the ghost zebras!

How about Sanaa?

A great view!

Love all the pics.

I haven't visited AKV-Kidani yet but we do love Jambo house and those pictures make me home sick

Ah yes, Sanaa! I was so busy enjoying the ambiance and the food I almost didn't take any photos! I had the red curry chicken and the spicy Durban chicken which reminded me of Carroll Shelby's chili (which is to say, most excellent).

Sanaa is decorated to look like an old spice market and has one of the best atmospheres of any restaurant on property! This place is a gem and we will certainly be returning! If you go there say "hey" to Amber from West Virginia.

Bob, great photos!

WDW/DVC might wanna consider referring potential customers to this thread.

The images here have done more to convince me that I need to visit this resort than any brochures or DVDs I've received from DVC.

Since this thread hasn't seen any action since May, here's a bunch from our trip the week after Thanksgiving in 2010. Also posted in the AKL photo thread on the Resort Photos sub-forum, but this thread needs some love, too, so...

No fancy HDR or anything, just some minimal editing from the camera (Pentax K-7, various lenses). I'm no BoBQuincy, Groucho, WDWFigment, etc. but I don't think they're all that bad.

Some DVC Studio room pics:

I love the colors and lines on the Jambo house building.

Scratching his neck on the tree trunk:

Bumped the tripod on accident, but I kind of like it - almost dreamlike - so I kept it:

Love all the detail in the railings at AKL:
