Dont worry about the Savannah view. Just staying at AKL is a great experience! You can still see the animals from the overlooks.

Have a great time! :)

We stayed there for the first time this past February. I really was awestruck at the enormity of the lobby and the attention to detail. We walked around for what seemed like ages - it's almost like an extention of AK itself, full of paths and animals to view. You will definitely not be disappointed!

There is one spot just beyond the pool area where they often feed the animals (there is a large tree trunk on the ground). We stood there for ages watching the feeding - you are only about 25ft away from the animals at that point. Very very cool

That's wonderful... AKL is a beautiful and fantastic resort. You'll love exploring all of it and spending time around the savannahs. Check out the Sunset Overlook on the west side of the lobby... it's a great spot to relax, enjoy the view and displays. The pool is great too, not to mention Boma and Jiko restaurants, and Victoria Falls Lounge. AKL also has the best smelling lobby IMO-- second to the Great Ceremonial House at the Poly.

Have fun!

Have a great time, it is so awesome that you were able to upgrade. Always happy to hear good news like this. I know this July because of the AP rates that came out for that time, we are staying at Boardwalk, which I am totally excited about, since it was always too expensive to stay in otherwise, so I feel your joy.

Don't worry about not getting the savannah view! We've been upgraded before to savannah view without even asking. Have a great time, it's an amazing resort! :wave:

Thanks!! I'm so excited! I am looking forward to looking at the animals, even without the savannah view! We ate at Boma on our last trip and I remember just looking around the hotel lobby when we walked in and LOVING it. I'm so excited!!

I share in your excitement. We're staying at AKL this August, but just for 3 nights. The rest of our trip will be spent at BWV. I really don't care if I go to one of the parks during our time at AKL. I just want to explore and soak in the atmosphere.

We're hitting Boma on the first night. It'll be our first time eating in that restaurant. Zebra domes, here we come!
