Best value choices: Standard View Room and Resort View Room

Standard categories come in both 1 King Bed and 2 Queen Beds layouts; check bed configuration when you reserve if you need a king.
- Standard View Room (beds: 1 King Bed or 2 Queen Beds)
- Resort View Room (beds: 1 King Bed or 2 Queen Beds)
- Standard Room - Club Level for travelers who want club benefits without a savanna view (beds: 2 Queen Beds)
| Room | When to pick it |
|---|---|
| Standard View Room | You want standard pricing with full resort access |
| Resort View Room | Good if views aren’t a priority but you want the AKL theme |
| Standard Room - Club Level | Choose if you value Kilimanjaro Club access over a view |

How to pick the right room for your stay
Decide whether the savanna view is more important than club access or suite space. If savanna viewing is the main draw, pick Savanna View Room types; if you want snacks and a concierge space, choose Club Level rooms.
When booking, confirm bed types (many categories offer 1 King Bed or 2 Queen Beds), whether your room is in Jambo House or Kidani Village, and any accessibility needs; special requests are subject to availability.
- Confirm bed configuration at booking (1 King Bed vs 2 Queen Beds).
- Ask whether your reserved room is Jambo House (main lodge) or Kidani Village (villas).
- If saving money, opt for Resort View or Standard View rather than a named view category.
- Club-level rooms include Kilimanjaro Club lounge access (refreshments 7:00 a.m.–10:00 p.m.).
| Guest need | Best room choice |
|---|---|
| Savanna viewing | Savanna View Room or Savanna View - Club Level Access Room |
| Family sleeping space | 2 Bedroom Suite or 2 Bedroom Suite - Club Level Access |
| Lower cost | Standard View Room or Resort View Room |
