Question Best floor for viewing animals at AKL?

Hi all,

I was thinking of making a room request for a specific floor. We are staying at Kidani with a savannah view, is it better to stay on a lower / specific floor for viewing the animals?

Thanks for any advice/feedback,
Marina

Truthfully, I don't really think it matters much. We stayed on the 3rd floor which seemed pretty ideal, but when we thought about the other floors, realized it's not all that different. The upper floors might have a more panoramic view, the lower floors a bit more of a closeup view.

I'd say third or fourth floor. Any higher and some of the tree may block the view and lower you might not be able to see as much in the distance. Also as there's a buffer along most of the buildings and the savannah, you may have to look over the strip of nothing or grasses on the lower floors.

I think it's more of a personal pref. some prefer lower floors to be closer to the animals and some prefer the more panoramic view of an upper floor.
