Kidani has an amazing kids water play area & slide, but the pool is small and I've always had trouble with yellow jackets at that pool. For this reason I like Jambo better.
Jambo's pool is huge, even on a busy day there's always space and it's close the the counter service.

So for adults, Jambo would be better? I wish Jambo had the food option at the pool like kidani does

I'd say yes, Jambo in general may be preferable for adults. More dining options in general there too.
My kids liked both pools equally when younger, but they added the play area to the Kidani pool after my son was really the right age for it.

I love both of these pools. Only thing I wish was different is the location of the Hot Tubs. I do not like having to leave the pool area to get to the hot tubs. This is one of my favorite places to stay though when going to Disney. I cannot wait for the Refurb.

The Mara is next to the pool so that really has never been an issue for me… and mobile ordering is a definite plus.

We really like The Mara and the food options there, too - not nearly as interesting options at the Kidani pool bar.

I haven't eaten there yet, definetely going to check it out next time!

Can someone direct me to a good place to look for room numbers at Kidani, please? We have an upcoming trip, SV 1 bedroom and would like to see room numbers to put in requests

We like to stay at somewhere between 7328 and 7344 (or 7428 and 7444) as we walk between Jambo and Kadini a few times per trip. This puts us by the Zazu elevators. It also puts us far from pool, but for us not a deal breaker.

Agree, that area is really nice to stay, both from a savanna view standpoint, and the proximity to easily walk to Jambo.

As a recent example, here's a savanna view from the 1BR at Kidani, 7322.
