Dedicated 2BR savanna views are located throughout the Kidani building. One request made by many is Sunset Savanna view (80% of all savanna view rooms overlook it at Kidani) because it has giraffes and zebras and the smaller Pembe savanna does not. Another popular request is something that puts you fairly close to the lobby. Why is that necessary: If you have not been to Kidani yet, be aware that in length it is enormous. It has two wings running from the lobby, north and south. The front entrance faces west. The walk from the lobby to end rooms on the north wing is about 1/3 mile (about the distance that it is from the front of BLT to the entrance area at MK) and a little less on the south wing. The resort has ideal under-building parking, which, with elevators along the wings, allows you to park fairly close to your room no matter where it is. When there I have seen guests with rooms near the end of wings actually drive their cars just to go to the lobby. The bus stop is on the south wing and God forbid that you walk to it from a room on the end of the north wing and then learn you forgot something. Moreover, the trek from bus stop to end rooms after a long day in the park with young children is literally torture.
In other words, you want some request that may get you close to the lobby. The problem is that everyone who has now stayed there and had a room far from lobby has learned his lesson and requests close to lobby, and close to lobby is the only choice in the on-line check in system to get you close to it. That has created a new problem in that many who request close to lobby now do not get it, and the resorts back-up position to not being able to meet a location request is to simply put you anywehere available, which has resulted in many who request close to lobby ending up at the end of the wings. You may want to try an alternative request, to be made through MS, such as one of the following; (a) close to Community Hall -- it is right near the lobby on the south wing, (b) close to Timon elevator (the wing elevators have names) -- it is not far from the lobby on the south wing and puts you closest to the door that is closest to the bus stop; (b) close to the Rafiki elevator -- on the north wing, gives you a manageable walk to the lobby and gives you the shortest walk to the pool; (c) close to the pool -- similar to asking for close to Rafiki elevator but could put you a little more distance from the pool.
A third request some make is lower floor to get a more direct eyesight view of the animals (personally I think both upper and lower floor are all good views). If you make that request, make it your last request in line behind one that will get you close to lobby. They try to meet requests in order given.Thus, if you want the better chance to get something close to the lobby, you want to avoid making lower floor the priority request that gets met first before a request that gets you close to the lobby.
