We spent 3 nights at the Sable Mountain Lodge at the end of December '11. Flying out from Dar with the small plane touching ground in the middle of nowhere, already being a fantastic experience. Attentive staff waiting for us and our 40 mins. way to the lodge was already a small safari (elephants, monkeys, ...). We stayed in a... More

A very different type of hotel set in the jungle on a hill. All rooms are quite widely spread out giving excellent privacy but a little walking involved to get there. We were lucky enough to be allocated one of the 2 honeymoon suites which was excellent but we heard from others in our party that one or two rooms... More

We landed at the airstrip and within half a minute of jumping onto the jeep which met us we saw an elephant. Straight away we knew that this was going to be a great stay! We were in cottage number 15, right at the top, a beautiful large suite with cool breezes and a marvellous view. The whole of the... More

Sable Mountain Lodge is greatly situated over the hill in the middle of the green forest. When we were there (beginning of July) it was just in the end of the rainy season and everything around was very green and cool. We traveled to there by the train from Dar es Salaam and when we arrived it was late evening... More

From our booking and correspondence with Tents with a view via email, to the minute we were taken to the airstrip to leave Selous, the entire team, the venue, the people, the images, have been amazing to say the least. Everyone is super professional, there were no delays, no hidden catches, no hiccups whatsoever. Only amazing people putting on their... More

This was the Safari phase of our 3 week honeymoon and the highlight of our trip. Located 20 mins away from the Selous NP Sable Mountain Lodge consists of a number of bandas (some stone, some canvas) scattered over a hillside. Interspersed amongst these are open plan dining/relaxing areas and a covered pool filled by springwater. The environmental impact is... More

It is beautifully situated on the lower ranges of the Uluguru Mountain range and has great views. The rooms are good, food is good and staff are very friendly. The pool is filled with cold spring water. The safari... More

The accommodation was excellent, nice big rooms, with 24 hrs power and hot water (the lodge runs on solar power!); you can drink the water from the tap (that is unique in Tz) since the lodge is connected to a water spring; the service is top quality and very efficient, the staff is smart and polite; the swimming pool with...
