Please help with your knowledge/opinions re: AKL Club level availability

I seem to remember reading something about this before, but wasn't sure...

How do you think my chances would be to book a 2br Concierge room at AKL for 3 nights in late Sept at the 7 month mark?

Also, just to confirm...Concierge rooms do have Savannah views, right?

I really want to take my mom on the Wanyama Safari and would rather stay Concierge and enjoy the services then pay another $50pp for the safari because we're not on Concierge level.....

Just wanted to see what you all thought my chances might be....

My original thought was to just book a regular 2br Savannah View...

But I like the idea of really treating my mom on this trip (not to be morbid, but this will most likely be her last trip to my happy place with me)

It really depends. That's value season, so it may be harder, We just got club level (studio) I did ask about 1 and 2 bedrooms and there were still about 5 room left and the 7 month mark is getting close. So don't loose all hope. You can always wait list. Maybe split your stay as well, if you can't get the entire visit.

I booked our concierge studio at AKV after getting up at 6am for five days straight. Finally, on the fifth day, I was able to book. That was at the 11-month mark, too. Our trip is mid-November, which you wouldn't expect to be incredibly popular, either. My philosophy is, "You'll never know unless you try."

The Concierge rooms at AKV (which exist only at Jambo House) have either a Savanna or Pool View. Only 5 Concierge units exist; they are all 2-BR lockoffs, for a maximum of 10 rooms if broken up into 1-BR and Studios

Ewwwww!!!!! Really? ooh, that doesn't make me happy...hmmm...it's a good thing I have until Feb. 25th (7 month mark) to think about this and all my options!

hmm.....I'm sure I'll end up asking opinions on what I should do on this as I get closer etc....
