JAMBO! The UN-official AKL Thread ~ UPDATED(short film/pg 8 & slideshow/pg 12) Part 2

On the map, it looks like the pool is closer to the giraffe trail than the zebra trail, so I think I will request a room on the zebra trail.

We do have a bunkbed room reserved, though. Does anyone know if the pool view bunkbed rooms are concentrated in a certain part of the lodge?

Ooh, I have a groundhog as a pet!

.... ...betcha don't see THOSE in Africa.....

Jambo, we are heading out to AKL exactly one week from today!

...hooray for YOU!!

...Last question...the necklaces that they give kids, do they get them when they check in? ...Any other tips or suggestions? Thanks so much!

...they 'earn' the beads to make the necklaces by participating in various events throughout the lodge....

...not really...there are bunk rooms in Giraffe Trail...we were there in August and we were on the 3rd floor...very quiet, with a nice view.... !

Thanks for the link...I don't want to wiat until Oct to go back!

Is the sunrise safari really only on Sundays and Thursdays? I read that today and it will totally affect my ADR's and plan for the trip.

Does anyone know if you can pay extra for sunrise safari if there are no more CL rooms ?

Thanks to this thread, I have fallen in love with the AKL! It's all your fault! This is not good! I am booked for the ASMo in December. My 2 little boys are going to love it (they love Buzz and Woody!). DH and I both like the value resorts, no problems with busses or food court lines. We don't spend $$$ on hotels as a rule. I've never even considered staying anywhere else. And now I'm obsessed. I must stay at AKL! But how? I mentioned it to DH - he laughed. No really, I mean it. He kept laughing. Come on, it'll only cost double what we're paying now. Laughing still. How do I do it, experts? How do I convince DH? How do I justify it to myself? I'm praying to the postcard code/pin fairy every night!

We will be at AKL this fri for a few nites before heading over to BWV..Our last few stays there we were strictly beer drinkers and lately we've been sampling the red wines..
Do they have a good selection at Zawadi or should we pick some up before at ABC?? We will be at Jiko for dinner and look forward to some variety of wine there...


Thanks

We'll be at AKL! I can't wait!! All the planning and anticipation will be over and we'll be having a blast. We still haven't told the kids yet. They're going to go crazy!

I wrote to dreams unlimited and got a good quote w/AAA card and split stay the first time we went. Using them again this time Once DH was there he loved it.
