Day 4: Dinner Around 5:30ish we decided we would go downstairs and ask about the box I mailed down as it had not been delivered to the room. Vinny went over and spoke to the CM. I was called over and I said it was signed by CARR and they said they think they knew what happened to it. They believed it was in a warehouse. After this we decided to walk outside and look at the savannah from the observation areas. Lobby
Closer look at the birds.
Some of the animals at ground level.
They are friends. LOL
Looking at the lobby.
Sign around the observation area.
Lobby again.
Another sign.
Staircase hidden.
We then went back inside and looked around the gift shop and went and found the gym and saw the pool closer up.
Lobby.
Sitting in the lobby.
Art located around the lobby.
Then we started to walk over to Kidani for our dinner. I did get lost for a second as the sidewalk ended and I did not see where it continued but we then found our way. LOL
Vinny walking over to dinner . The sky was so pretty.
We checked in and had to wait maybe 5 minutes. I went to the bathroom and this bathroom was gorgeous. I did not take a pic but I think Vinny did though he got caught taking one by a father and his son. He said he was so embarrassed. LOL We got a seat next to the window. At one part during dinner I look out and 5 zebras are eating outside.
We are on the regular dining plan but decided on having an
appetizer. I will write down dining choices for both of us.
Scott: App - Mustard Seed-crusted Scallops - with a Coconut Cream Sauce $8.99 Ent – Slow Cooked in Gravy, Simple and Well Seasoned Choice of two served with Basmati Rice or Five-grain pilaf $18.99 Spicy Durban Chicken & Shrimp with Green Curry Sauce
Des - Chocolate Cake with Raspberry Mint Sorbet $5.99 Drink – Pomegranate Lemonade & Malawi Mango Margarita - frozen blend of Tequila, Van der Hum Tangerine Liqueur, Mago Puree and freshly squeezed Lime Juice $9.50
Vinny: App - Salad Sampler Choice of Three Salads $6.99 Watermelon, lime, and radish ENT - Spicy Durban Shrimp & Coconut-Curry Lamb
DES - Chocolate Cake with Raspberry Mint Sorbet $5.99 Drinks – Pomegranite Lemonade & GLS Goats BLD Wine.
Reviews: Scott – I liked it a lot. I am not a fan of Indian food and the smell of curry makes me gag but this place made it so good I really enjoyed it and also I did smell the curry I do not like. LOL The Durban chicken was really spicy and I loved it. Vinny – He liked it also. The only thing he hated was the wine. He said it was really bad.
Price was $55.66 for the apps, drinks and tip.
After this we walked back to Jambo and we really felt the walk then. We got some milk and soda from the gift shop and then we went to the room to crash. We watched a little tv and then went to sleep.
I forgot to mention I tried the Zebra Domes I Hear people rave about and they were nasty. I could only 2 and threw the rest out.
End of day 1.
Up next,
Vinny’s day 1 photos.

I take pics in the bathroom too. Some of them are really unique. I understand Vinnny being embarrassed though, I have had a few strange looks from people. ;D
The resort is gorgeous. I wish we had spent a little time outside exploring before dinner. I agree about the zebra domes though. They were awful.

Scott, nice to see your smiling face in the one picture and the back of Vinny in the other The lobby is so pretty, love all the pictures. I am not a fan of curry, we had a neighbor growing up who cooked curry all the time made me want to gag. My fave bathroom is the Brown Derby I have photos of that one, I waited to take it during EMH, nobody seems to know it is open for use then. Thanks for posting the pictures, is helping my WDW withdrawl.

How did you like Kidani? I found both Jambo and Kidani beautiful but it was much quieter at Kidani. I think we are going to stay at AKL next October if we can't get in at the Beach Club, we think Andrew will like the water play area at Kidani.

;D I could not take them I think I did once and I felt weird. The resort was gorgeous. You should go back and look around.
Oh there will be more pics of me. I am about to order the photopass cd. The lobby was gorgeous. I was impressed. EEWWW I have never been in the Brown Derby. Many more photos coming up.
They were really pretty. The entire place was. YUCK!!! He did. He was really embarrassed when the guy walked in.
It was very small. It did seem quieter. I would like to stay there but Vinny said no. 2 weeks and I will book SSR for next October and then I will try for BLT at the 7 month mark. Then BCV then BWV then AKL.
Oh you should try it. I was hesitant as I hated curry but I found I really loved it.
