what exactly is concierge level at AKV?

[flatzkids]

I am not having any luck finding out anything about the concierge level at AKV. I'm not even sure what it is. More amenities? Could someone fill me in please? TY

I cant help with AKV, but can comment on AKL, as I was just there. Your room will be on the 4th or 6th floor, with a view of the Savannah. You will be able to have breakfast, Tea, Snacks, and Wine and liquor. Most importantly you can take part in the Wayanama Safari, which is a private, limited to 8, safari around the AKL, and then a private table at Jiko, with a outstanding meal. You also can sign up for the sunrise safari in advance. You also get a private check in without having to wait in line.

If you already knew all this, please disregard.

The only thing I had heard of was the safari part. I'm not even sure if I was correct in saying AKV instead of AKL. Is all of this included as part of concierge or is it just available for additional cost? Thank you for your response.

The breakfast and other food is included, the sunrise safari was like 50 bucks or so and the dinner safari was 160 per person. I will say this if you do the sunrise safari and breakfast, which was really good, you will never go on the safari ride again, the ability to take 45 minutes or so and stop repeatedly for great camera shots spoils you, from every traveling with the masses again.

Wanyama is technically open to anyone, however as it is limited to 12 per safari, it quickly fills up with concierge guests. Also, the price is $210 per person, but discounted to $160 per person if staying concierge. Also, the sunrise safari is actually the ride at Animal Kingdom park, whereas the Wanyama takes place on the savannas of AKL/AKV.
