Did the coffee maker have a standard filter basket? We are wanting to bring our own coffee and filters.
That IMO is a great idea, I like Joffrey’s coffee but those packs in the rooms were swill.

That was me I was actually hoping to get one of those renovated standard rooms with "obstructed" savannah view in April...I can’t remember who, but I know someone asked me to report back about our standard rooms. We’re in standard rooms along the kudu trail. Ostrich and giraffe are under construction, so to the best of my understanding all standard rooms are renovated.
Been here a couple of days and there are very minimal signs of the construction. We are facing towards kidani and so the part of the ostrich trail we see from our balcony is being renovated, but no other areas of the resort appear to be under construction.

Thank you so much for reporting back. Have a magical trip
Love the view Can't wait to be at AKL myself. It is such a gorgeous and unique hotel and the restaurants are all worth visitingno problem and I’m glad you found the update!!
here’s a photo from our room. it’s a partial savannah view. all down the left, you can see the construction fence where they’re working on the ostrich trail. we’ve seen tons of animals in 2 days already.

JunePut me down for June 7-13. AKL
Hello! Just booked AKL, Kidani Village, Savanna View Studio for Sept 22-25 (part of a split stay with Boardwalk). Please add me to the list! This will be our first stay in AKL- have wanted to stay there for a long time!!
I tried searching for this and couldn't find an answer...
Are there any advantages for Building 1 over Building 2 or vice versa? Which savanna has the best view (animal activity, etc)? TIA

they both look out onto the same savanna. The only advantage I can think of is that to the right of the lobby you do not have a chance of being placed on the small savanna. I would request that trail and close to lobby for the best views.Hello! Just booked AKL, Kidani Village, Savanna View Studio for Sept 22-25 (part of a split stay with Boardwalk).

There are 18 Value Studios and they only exist in Jambo House. 10 of them are part of 2-bedroom lock-offs (studio & 1-bedroom w/interior connecting door). If someone reserves a Value 2-bedroom, there will be one less Value Studio available.Now I think I have seen this somewhere a while ago, but I’m wondering if anyone can tell me the number of value studio rooms available and the breakdown of their location? I know room location can’t be requested for this type so I’m trying to figure out what my odds are of getting the parking lot views.
Thank you.
Yes, the "small savanna" is the Pembe. The main savanna at Kidani Village is the Sunset Savanna.Thanks!
"to the right of the lobby" - so if you are facing the front of the building, to your right... that would be the South Trail building?
Is the "small savanna" the one named "Pembe"?
Sorry, total AKL newbie here.
I wouldn't want to be on the Pembe savanna. You likely wouldn't see Giraffes or zebras over there, but you would see antelope, cattle ect, and I believe the warthogs are still over there. IMO the best views are in the Timon section. They feed the giraffes from boxes attached to trees in that area.So would I be correct to say that:
1. there are no "bad" savanna view rooms (all have equal chance of seeing variety of animals) and
2. the Timon & Rafiki sections would be the best, based on proximity to Lobby, transportation, pool?
