Question for AKV Experts!

[buckeyejennifer]

We're new owners at AKV and haven't yet made our first visit. My brother and his wife are going to use our points for a week in September and will be staying in a savanna view studio in Jambo House.

Any advice on a room location to request to get the best view? I know that nothing is guaranteed, but wanted to at least try and get the best savanna view possible.

Thank you!!

We had an awesome Jambo studio savannah view on the zebra trail. I think our room was 5432. Very convenient location. Close to elevators for pool, Mara and Lobby.

Zebra Trail, essentially anywhere along it even far from the lobby, is my favorite area at Jambo including because it faces west onto Arusha savanna and thus you can sit on the balconey and look at animals in the morning without the sun blasting in your face and room, and you get to watch very pleasant sunsets.

Yes. convenience to elevators is very important. There are some rooms (I got one) that are "to haycks and back" as my grandmother used to say. The walk to my studio, 5377 I think, is the longest I ever had in a studio. And yes, I've stayed at the Boardwalk-nothing next to this.

If you want to make reservations for this September, you might not have that many choices though! Call and see what is available then go from there!

I had a spectacular view in a studio on Zebra Trail. Mine however, was very far from the elevators.

I posted the wrong studio room number. We had 5431 savannah view on zebra trail. We had 5432 on a different trip but it is a pool view.

You should probably call fast (if you haven't already). I called last week to change my Kidani studio for labor day weekend to a studio in Jambo house and was told that there were only 2 studios (SV view) left for that weekend, if that's around the time that you were looking for....of course availability changes all the time but just FYI.

We already have the reservation--I made it back in March (sounds like a good thing!) I just know that you can put in a 'request' on the reservation for when they make room assignments, so I thought I'd request the best view possible.

I'll follow the Zebra Trail advice--sounds like a great view! Thanks everyone!
