Distance from lobby to last room on north wing (one further from Jambo) is over 1/4 mile, to last room on south wing (one closer to Jambo) just under 1/4 mile. A 5 minute walk normal pace, longer with small kids, and torture if coming back from a long day at the park with small kids. In comparison to that seemingly "long" walk at BWV to the end rooms, the walk at BWV is about 90 seconds normal pace, less than a third of the walk at Kidani. Also, there are two savannas, the huge sunset savanna (which most savanna rooms overlook) and the smaller Pembe which is to the north. Pembe has no giraffes but instead okapi (from same family as giraffes but a much smaller animal). All savanna rooms close to the lobby overlook sunset. Thus, if you want to avoid the walk down the endless hallway to nowhere and want to see giraffes, highly recommend that you request close to the lobby which puts you close to everything (pool, store, restaurant, bus stop).
