Yes, we would love to see some pictures too! We will also be staying in a standard view 1BR when we go for July 4th. We were there over New Years and had a Savanna View at Jambo, so we decided to save the points this trip and stay a little longer.

And pictures of the new pool. I think everyone is wanting to see some of those!

Hope you have a great time!!!!

Welcome home, though I feel funny saying that. We were supposed to make our first trip there in November, but I broke my ankle. We are now not going to stay until August. But we are staying in a 1 BR Concierge. A very late celebration of my 60th. Can't wait. Penny

Congratulations and welcome home! We just had our fist trip home this past February and we cannot wait to go again.

I'm thinking of staying at AKV for the 1st time in October. I need a 2BR dedicated. Our favorite animals are giraffes and zebras. I was wondering if there was a particular Savannah view or section I should request. Also when you have a Savannah view, is it best to have a lower floor room or an upper floor room?

If you need a 2BR dedicated then you will need to book Kidani Village. Jambo House has only lockoffs. The "dedicated 2BR, Kidani Village, Savanna View" is a booking category so that's what you need to book.

As far as requests go, you should request the Sunset Savanna. Kidani will have two savannas. Most of the Savanna View rooms will face the Sunset Savanna which has giraffes and zebras. The rest of the Sav. View rooms will face the new (and much smaller) Pembe Savanna and I read somewhere that Pembe will not have giraffes. It will have some unusual animals (Okapi for one) but apparently it will be too small for giraffes.

As far as which floor to request, I prefer to be on a lower floor because it puts you closer to the animals. My best room ever at AKL was a second-floor room because we were at eye level with the giraffes!

Thank you Lisa! That was very helpful!

I just got off the phone with MS and unfortunately a 2BR dedicated in Kidani Village with Savannah view wasn't available for all the nights I needed. So I made a reservation for a 2BR lockoff with Savannah view at Jambo House. But I had them put me on the waitlist for Kidani. Only 2 nights weren't available at Kidani so I'm hoping my waitlist comes through.

Just made my first reservation!!! For Dec. 15-22. I got a 2 bedroom and a studio in Kidani! SOOOO excited!!! It's our first time spending Christmas with my husband's sister and her family in MANY years!

I booked a CL room for Feb!!! I couldn't really decide if we want that or a Sav. View but decided to go for it. We have previously been CL a few years back with a room on the 5th floor. It was a good experience but we may miss that savannah view (and really the view from the 6th floor Sav. view rooms isn't the greatest).

Congratulations on getting CL. DH and I are 2 weeks away from our first CL stay. He's coming down for 3 nights after my DGF's go home. This is a spring break trip that I'm really looking forward to!
