Standard or savanna view? If standard you might request pool view which is the better of the standard views. If savanna view, you should consider requesting close to the lobby; the reason: there are two wings, north and south, the walk from the lobby to the end room on the north wing is over 1/4 mile, to the end of the south wing just a little under 1/4 mile. Also to the north/northwest of the north wing is Pembe savanna which does not have giraffes and thus if you want to see giraffes you want view of Sunset savanna, which most savanna view rooms overlook, and if you get close to the lobby that automatically means you are overlooking sunset savanna.
