You're not wrong, you do see more trees when up on the higher floors, but as in Jambo, the higher floor has the sweeping view of the savannas. (Personally I love the balcony, but my knees want to buckle when I'm up too high, so I like the lower floor).
I've found the best of both worlds tends to be the second floor up (or floor 3 as it is called in Kidani since parking is floor 1). The foot traffic in the hallway also tends to be lighter once off of that lobby-level floor. A simple request of Low floor, or for others, high floor tends to do the trick. (ie Low Floor, Sunset Savanna view) For me that Sunset Savanna view is the most important note. I want Giraffe and zebra on the savanna.
