Boma/ AKL Animal Viewing?

[Kellygain8704]

We are trying to make some final dining decisions. If we were to do a meal at Boma, would we be able to potentially view animals from either the restaurant itself, or from some other viewing area within the resort while we are there?

You can't see the animals from Boma, but there is a beautiful public viewing area at the back of the AKL lobby. Only Sanaa has potential animal viewing.

There are also little bump out areas with chairs in the hallways at AKL where you can sit to view animals.

Like others have stated, you can not see the animals while you dine but there are 3 overlook areas at Jambo house you can go out to see the animals. One large one out from the main lobby and two out by the pool which you will see the doors to the right as you enter Boma. One goes out behind the pool and the other to the right.
Sanna is the only place to potentially view animals while you eat. They also have viewing areas around the resort although not as many as it is smaller. The animals roam free through the day so there is never a guarantee you will see them. They are taken in around 8 am each day for a quick health check and then re-released out about an hour/hour 1/2 later. So if you are thinking breakfast, time your viewing around that. Sanna is only quick service for breakfast.

The animals are fed in the main viewing area everyday (except maybe bad weather) starting around 5....They also have other activities and very friendly guides. For those staying at the resort you will see few to no animals around this time unless your room overlooks the main viewing area. The Animals go were they are fed... and being 5 is diner time and potential new guest time you will see them gathered near the main viewing areas at Jambo house and Kidani village.
