Wondering if there are any pool view rooms, or areas, which may also have a partial savannah view?

First time staying at Jambo, we done Kidani a few times. Is Sunset the only savanna with giraffes?

Just got back from Jambo in May and saw Giraffes on Uzima savanna. Lots of places to view the savannas around the resort at various lookouts which imagine is like Kidani as well. (I've only stayed at Jambo).

Just got back from Jambo and was on the Giraffe Trail with a view of the pool near Boma. I was able to see some of the savanna from my balcony. We had a room on the 5th floor I believe - lower floors would likely not have been able to see anything I woudn't think.

I’ve seen giraffes from every savanna view room I’ve ever been in at Jambo, regardless of what savanna. They do migrate throughout the day… so the time that they are closest to your room is the real question. I had one room where they were always there at night.

The small Pembe savanna which is only visible from Kidani is the only savanna at AKL/V w/out giraffes.
All 3 savannas that you can see from Jambo - Sunset, Arusha, & Uzima - typically have giraffes.
I’ve noted the location of Jambo’s hallways - Kudu & Zebra trails (which have resort & savanna views) & Ostrich & Giraffe trails (which have value villas) on this google earth screen grab.

The Uzima savanna overlook is out by Jambo’s pool & the grand villa at the end of that first pod off of Zebra trail has both pool & Uzima savanna views. I don’t know about the cash rooms on the lower floors, but most of the villas facing the pool are facing away from Uzima savanna.

All the DVC villas at Jambo are on the 5th floor (club villas on 6th floor.) So if you were in a DVC villa on Giraffe trail at Jambo you were in a value villa on the 5th floor. I’ve never been in one of the value villas, but those Giraffe trail villas are conveniently located near the walkway to the bus stop & above the pool/Mara & if some can also see Uzima savanna - wow .

Thanks for the replies, since they all have giraffes I probably won't make a request. Maybe just zebra trail to be closer to the pool.
