Most of the standard studios are within fairly easy walking distance to the lobby. If you want to be the closest possible to the pool with a pool view then request "close to Rafiki elevator." That request also gives you some chance of having a partial savanna view of the very southern end of Pembe. If instead you want to be close to community hall and the bus stop and don't mind view of road, request either "close to community hall" or "close to the Timon elevator."
Note that these requests must be made through Member Services via the owner. If you do on-line check in, it will show some requests you can choose but those are not for DVC reservations.
