There are 3, 11 acre savannahs at AK Lodge.  Sunset Savannah, Arusha Savannah and Uzima Savannah.  Each savannah has it's own set of wildlife and hoofstock as follows:

• Sunset Savannah:  Male Giraffe, Bongo, Impala, Thompsons Gazelles, Ostrich, Ankole Cattle, Waterbuck, African crown cranes, stork and blue cranes.
• Arusha Savannah:  Pelicans, geese, giraffe, ankole cattle, zebra, Wildebeast, eland, gemsbok
• Uzima Savannah:  Giraffe, Impala, Kudu, Bongo, Blesbok, Thompsons Gazelles

Where the rooms face:
Zebra trail rooms overlook the Arusha savannah (odd number rooms) and the Uzima Savannah (even number rooms).  Kudu trail rooms overlook Arusha Savannah (odd number rooms) or Sunset Savannah (even number rooms).  Even numbered rooms in Ostrich Trail will overlook Sunset Savannah, while the odd number rooms overlook the valet area.  On Giraffe Trail, the even number rooms will overlook the pool, while the odd number rooms overlook the valet area.

TIP:  For an amazing view of the animals near their feeding area, choose rooms (on any floor, even number rooms only) from X572 through X584 (where X is the floor number).  Also, odd numbered rooms X541 through X555 have a similar view.  These rooms wrap around the feeding area, and provided us an AWESOME view of the giraffe and Tommies (Thompsons gazelles).  If you follow Zebra trail to the end, and go to the outside stairwell, you can get a fantastic view of this area as well (4th floor is ideal).  There are also savannah viewing areas on the 2nd floor of Zebra trail at the 'elbows' of each section.
