I'd say it's dependent on which savannah area your room faces. From our first room we stayed in, the animals were most visible earlier in the day. But in our most recent room that faced a different savannah, the animals didn't come around at all until the afternoon and evening.
I think that schedule doesn't start until around 8:00. And the different species of animals (giraffes, zebra, cattle, etc.) are called in by different sounds-the clacking of 2 sticks, a triangle, a horn, etc. If you listen closely and have good ears, you can hear the sounds. It's pretty interesting! And what's also interesting, at least to me, is that the animals don't suddenly raise their heads and go running (or at least walking fast) to the barn. They just slowly amble that way, not appearing to be in a hurry to get anywhere in particular.
If you have never had pressed coffee do yourself a favor and buy a small press ($15) and a grinder (I use my bullet type) for home … your coffee drinking life will be forever changed … Merry Christmas!
Just a warning, for kidani ,we have always asked close to lobby and in 8-10 trips there , never got anywhere close. Last trip we were one pod away from the end of the wing.
