Jambo Standard View Studio ?

[eeyoresmom]

I think we have always stayed either Savanna or Value at Jambo. I have a trip planned for March with 3 teens. Right now, both savanna and standard view are available. I will probably be spending part of each morning on the balcony while they get ready. I love the pool views at Jambo amd I have read that there are some savanna views in the standard category also. Does anyone know for sure if there are parking lot or roof views in the standard category and how many rooms would have that view ? I don't necessarily want a savanna view but I definitely dont want a roof view TIA

The only Jambo DVC parking lot view rooms are in the Value category.
(Kidani standard view have many parking lot views)

I'm not sure what you mean about "roof view" unless you are referring to the 6th floor Club level rooms that have restricted views of the pool or savanna due to their roof structures.

Some of the Standard Views at Jambo House that face the Uzima Pool are above the restaurants. If you look down, you see the roof. If you look out, you see the pool.

The only thing I can think of is some of the rooms especially in the center "pearl of the necklace" overlook the roof of Boma down below and the pool is sort of off to the side. I've been in one of those rooms before and the views not bad. The Roof of Boma is themed. You can see it here. http://binged.it/Xvowwq

If you look at the aerial view that johde provided and compare it to this map of Jambo House: http://www.parkinfo2go.com/dvc-akv/floor5-large.html you can see that studio rooms 5401 and 5406 overlook a very large area of roof as to 5408, 5410 and 5412. Once you get beyond that set of rooms you would have a pretty good view of the pool area. There are also several rooms that have been reclassified from Savanna View to Standard View. They are scattered around the resort (some all the way out at the ends of the Kudu and Zebra trails). They tend to be in corners (where a "spur" meets the main hallway) or near an emergency exit stairway or over a "people pen". I've been tracking them and here is the latest list:
