We have stayed here multiple times and it has always been wonderful. We love that it is kind of out there by itself. We love the quiet and taking a break from the noise and activity of the parks. Just explore. I read once that AKL has one of the largest selections of museum quality African artifacts in the world for a hotel. These items are tucked into all kinds of spots. We think that AKL has one of the best gift shops for a resort. We like that the two hot tubs are tucked away and quiet. Never had a problem with the bus system or the travel time to the parks. The Mara-the food court is right off the pool area and has a nice shaded eating area outside. Go Enjoy!
