I read on disboards that there is a short-cut walk from Jambo House buses area to Mara restaurant.
I would like to present my video at above website named "Short-cut from Jambo House Buses..."
Videos/pictures worth a thousand words.
FYI. Live streaming will be until 11:00AM EDT on Friday, April 09 (check-out) if Disney internet access cooperates.

Thanks for posting the live stream. After watching a few minutes, I find myself wondering why we decided to change our reservation to BWV at the 7 month mark for our October trip.
I'm thinking the same thing. I had ressies for AKV kidani SV for October and we changed them to BLT. Fortunately, we will be at AKV this June.
I wish I had seen this thread earlier. Thanks for posting.

We loved both resorts 100%!! (DW, DS13, DS09, myDISboards).
The dark African-themed 1-bedroom we loved very much. All lights were on day and night. Drapes were opened during the day.
All of us walked few times between Kidani Village and Jambo House. On one occasion, a cast member gave us a golf car ride over to Jambo House. DS13 and DS09 loved it!! The golf car ride was recorded on Sony Point-n-Shoot camera.
No over-the-counter restaurant at Kidani Village?! What DVC/Disney thinking? But the walks were leisure for us. DS13 said it few times, just do it and walk over.
Notes on walkway from Jambo House to Kidani Village: when youre near Kidani Village Zazu elevators parking area #1, you can actually walk under the covered parking (street level) and use Timon elevators parking area #5 for example to get to the main lobby. This short-cut is good for rain and hot summer sun.
We ate lunch and dinner at Sanna restaurant (not on same day). Sanna had same menu for lunch and dinner but the waiter/waitress explained the differences such as lesser items on same entrees. Food was excellent!!
We ate twice at Boma for dinner (not consecutive nights). All buffet items were same except for few different soups and entrees for each dinner. We tried a little of everything at first, and then went back for our favorites!! Food was excellent!!
We did not eat at Jiko because of other priorities. Its on our to-do-list next time we visit. I have a video named "Jiko" at the above website.
We went to Downtown Disney three times. Each time about 25-minutes ride. From Kidani Village, waited 5-10 minutes for the buses at 12pm/3pm/6pm. From Downtown Disney, waited 10-15 minutes for the buses at 3pm/6pm/8:30pm.
DS13 and DS09 loved both swimming pools and slides (Kidani slide is longer). Not crowded for our stay. If there were crowd levels, the pool choice = Uzima Pool at Jambo House.
The bus ride from Kidani Village to Magic Kingdom about 20-minutes. We had Bay Lake Tower scheduled tour at 1:00pm. I asked about the differences between daily 1:00pm tours and 2pm to 4pm tours when I made our appointment, only the daily 1:00pm tours are Top Of The World Lounge/Observation Deck.
Three (3) videos of Bay Lake Tower scheduled tour at 1:00pm were recorded on Sony Point-n-Shoot camera. (no password required)
