Who did you book through..web site or TA? If you phoned yourself, the CM should be able to tell you a range of rooms available for a particular view. I could be wrong but a savannah view is a savannah view , not a pool view. There are four different savannah views two on the same savannah but different "trails". There is the Arusha savannah and two trails - zebra and kudu, Sunset savannah and Uzima savannah. Construction for AKLC is seen from the sunset savannah, but according to others is not too obtrusive. The ostrich trail and the giraffe trail are views of the parking lot and the pool view rooms are just that. There are good maps available to look at ahead of time. The price you mention for two people, with park hopper pass, dining option and the rest of the taxes thrown is about right for a stay of 10 days for value and maybe 7 for regular at club or conceirge level. If you book far enough ahead of time, especially in value season you should be able to get your choice of Savannah and the floor you want to stay on, maybe not the exact room.
