My girlfriend and I stayed here for 4 nights at the end of Feb 2013 and have to say that it's an amazing place. The staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming and the location is beautiful. The camp has it's own fresh water spring so you can even drink the tap water. We stayed in banda 12 and had a... More

We were lucky enough to stay in No 15 Lower. A long hard treck after dinner but well worth it and by the end of my stay I didn't need to take a rest halfway up. Overweight & nearly 70 I had a fit when we were first shown where we were to sleep but honestly the view and the... More

The tented rooms were comfortable and well designed, we especially liked the bathroom behind the bedroom area. The rooms are located to have a view over the park. The food was the best we had on our trip, and the staff were very helpful. We had a full day safari, which included a boat trip, which made a change from... More

Had a fantastic time at Sable, every single person made us feel so welcome and couldn't do enough for you all with a genuine smile. Food was amazing, didn't always need full board but was too good to refuse. Had no problem about not having power sockets in the room, minimal light was available in your room and camera batteries...

This was our first time on safari. I picked this accommodation and safari because of the very positive trip adviser reviews and we were certainly not disappointed. There are many positive things I could say about Sable Mountain Lodge but above all we felt very safe and very looked after. The staff are all marvellous; they are all friendlyand very... More

We travelled from Dar on the Tazara, almost on time with little incident and disembarked in the night. We were collected efficiently and in the morning we were driving down the road to the game reserve. The staff are friendly, with a good atmosphere and a welcoming bar, to share the days adventures before dinner. The cabins are all that... More

We recently drove, yes drove up to Selous from Dar for a long weekend. Staying at Sable Mountain was a great find. They put us in the Family cabin, which I would highly recommend, and had one of the more beautiful views I have ever seen. The camp is rustic, but very well done. The cabin was atop a massive...

We stayed 4 nights at Sable in 'No. 15 Rooftop Up', the accommodation was very unusual, right at the top of the hill, with the most magnificent views over Selous. Virtually the whole of one end completely open, loads of space & quite windy which was great because it was so hot! The team were very friendly, welcoming & knowledgeable... More

We were in the same group as "Bob Croydon" and agree with his Review. We travelled from Sadaani by internal flight after the infamous Tazara Train was cancelled. "Tent With A View" - (the owners of Sable Mountain, Sadaani Lodge and Zanzabari Hotel) arranged this seamlessly so that we were not disadvantaged at all. Arriving at Sable Mountain brought a... More
