Avoid rooms around room 3122 on the Ostrich Trail. We requested to be moved on our 2nd day b/c of noise beneath us early in the AM. We really enjoyed the Starlight Safari.

@Kitchen, you need to ask specifically for this if you're getting the bread service at Sanaa. Peri Peri dipping sauce, quite hot but packed with flavor. It you enjoy hot, spicy flavor get this.

There are daily activities that you can do to earn beads and you can get something special if you do them all over the course of the stay. They are really neat. My boys made giant giraffe enrichment feeders. We only stayed 2 nights.

Nothing specific but at Boma, be sure to try a tiny bit of unfamiliar things, even if it sounds weird. It will most likely be surprisingly delicious, and then you can go back for more! If you visit Victoria Falls lounge, goat cheese app is incredible.

I love AKL! I'm going back for a second visit on my next trip. Plan on some resort time to enjoy the wonderful resort. Boma was delicious for dinner and breakfast.

Re: unfamiliar foods. At the Boma breakfast, the boring white pap looks like plain ol' grits. But pour oodles of tomato stew (forgot the name, it's next to the pap) over the pap, and Oh. My. Stars. Deliciousness!

I kind of have an issue eating anything called pap. Or grit.

If I called it blancmange, would you eat it? Also white.

Almost got suckered into trying sweetbread. But my brother's face made me stop and question my 8 year old choice. Thank goodness.

Boma: The deviled eggs with bacon are amazing. Didn't know I liked deviled eggs until I had them. Zebra domes are a must as well.

We like the butter chicken @S in AKL. It's on the children's menu, and that size portion is perfect for us. We order the bread service first tho:)

Try things your servers recommend-they have an expertise I've never experienced elsewhere. Also try Cape Town Wine Bar- their rare pours are spectacular.

If you have kids, check out whether they have some scheduled activities. It's been 7 years we last went but at that time they had a drum circle and fancy water coloring with cast members the kids immensely enjoyed.
