First time at AKL: Jambo or Kidani?

[mattw0640]

Hello! We're hoping to stay at AKL in the fall and definitely want a savanna view. Should we stay at Jambo, Kidani, or is this a situation where we can't go wrong?

Thank you !

I will start by saying I’ve never stayed at Kidani. We did stay at Jambo House in a partial savanna view room and we loved it so much we decided to buy into DVC.

We were on the Kudu Trail and close to the lobby. It was amazing!

Whatever you choose, I hope you enjoy your time there!

I would go with Jambo since there are more dining options with Jiko, Boma, Mara QS, Victoria Falls lounge plus it feels more like a hotel with its huge lobby area versus Kidani which it’s more DVC with smaller public areas.

Are you staying in a villa or a regular Deluxe resort room? All regular rooms are in Jambo. Kidani rooms are all freshly refurbished. Jambo will be a mix of non-refurbished and under construction rooms. For those reasons I would choose Kidani. You get access to both resorts’ amenities regardless. A short walk between the two and there is a constantly running shuttle bus as well.

To clarify, the villas are undergoing refurbishment. The regular rooms were already refurbished.
