I don't think you can go wrong either way. But Kindani has many more DVC rooms. Jambo only has one floor of DVC rooms, so if you're not booking at 11 months you may have more luck with Kidani.

Is this for your solo trip? Kidani for the renovated room.

Yes would be for solo and both are available now

You have access to both pools while there. Jambo has the bigger zero entry one with easy access to the Mara Quickserve. Kidani has the great splashpad and has a pool bar

Doesn't Jambo have a pool bar too?

My research suggested they both have a pool bar. I'm doing all of this research just to hopefully switch to riviera at 60 days LOL

Jambo has a pool bar but it didn't really have food (in 2023). V close to Mara, though.

If you are booking DVC room Savannah view and want to be close to animals, Kidani is best. Jambo DVC rooms are only on top floor.

Well I feel better since this group can't decide either LOL so I guess I can't go wrong. :)

I like the Kidani pool better. It's more compact and easy to navigate. I feel like the two hot tubs are never crowded. And I love the food at their pool bar. I also feel like Kidani has better (more consistent) views of giraffes.

Kidani is more peaceful if you want to feel like you are where the people aren't at the end of the park day.

I believe Kidani has the longest pool slide of the resorts (except for maybe Beach Club). We stayed there a year ago and thoroughly enjoyed the resort. Easy walk to Jambo.
