Thanks so much, so if we wanted to shoot for a savanah view room we should request the rooms over the people pens? Is that closer to the lobby elevators? We have stayed here twice but I don't remember. Thank you! You seem to really know the resort, so I appreciate it!
Here is the list of Jambo House reclassified rooms that have been reported here. If you also look at this
Jambo House room map you can see where these reclassified rooms are located and perhaps come up with a request that will work for you. People here generally advise against requesting a specific room because if it isn't available then the room assigner won't have a clue what else might work for you. Something like "savanna view, near lobby" might be good but as we always say here, a request is only a request so you never know where you might end up!
