• Work already visible includes the Zebra Trail Terrace project at Jambo House that began in July 2025 with scaffolding and daytime construction activity.
• The Samawati Springs Pool Slide at Kidani Village closed on September 8, 2025 for maintenance, with guests directed to use Jambo House’s Uzima Springs Pool Slide.
• Savanna viewing and signature dining such as Boma and Sanaa remain available even as guests encounter construction walls, detours, and daytime noise.
• Travel outlets are advising some visitors to delay bookings or use mitigation strategies, and any rate concessions during the work remain anecdotal and unconfirmed.
