The lodge is remote, but is close to a railway station which has two trains per week from Dal Es Salaam or Zambia. Rooms are comfortable, staff so helpful and will go out of their way to please you - nothing too much trouble. There is no electricity but solar power and oil lamps at night so bring a torch... more

What a fantastic way to start our Honeymoon. We booked directly with Tent with a View for both stays at Selous Mountain Lodge and Sadaani. Communication was good and the staff were very patient with all my questions so I can't thank them enough for that. We flew from Dar to Sable Mountain Lodge for an hour and arrived at... more

We stayed for 3 nights which we feel was the perfect amount of time. We took the train and arrived in the evening for a meal. The staff were great and really friendly. Our stone banda was comfortable. The location is beautiful and the whole setting is very picturesque, especially around the top bandas. Pool looked nice. All the food... more

I couldn't recommend Sable Mountain enough, it's a truely unique experience far removed from the hussle and bustle of crowds. We took the train from Dar which was great arriving at night we didn't see any game but the last hour of the journey goes through Selous Reserve and so if it's bright you may spot some game. The staff... more

we travelled up from Dar on the train - an experience not to be forgotten - sadly no white wine (ho ho) but surprisingly lovely cold beer! Dave who's been working at Sable Lodge for a long time was in the next carriage to us and checked on us from time to time to give us an update as to... more

I visited the Sable Mountain Lodge and the Selous game reserve in February 2009 as part of a small group booked through the Adventure Company. We took the five hour train ride from Dar Es Salaam which was a complete adventure in itself. We travelled through part of the reserve and were able to spot animals en route. We got... more

This mountain retreat simply has to be experienced... an amazing location on the edge of the Selous Game Reserve. Wonderful staff, well appointed accommodation and great food - plus access to some of the most prolific wildlife viewing you are likely to experience anywhere. Highly recommended! more

We travelled to Sable Mountain on the Tazara train - highly recommended - and as it was running late and dark when we got there, saw a huge porcupine ambling cross the road and a couple of civet cats before we even got to the lodge. We were in a stone banda high up the hill (no 5) There are... more

I loved my stay at Sable Mountain Lodge just outside of Selous Mountain park. I found the food to be very good and the accomodation to be comfortable. I had an unforgettable experience when my guide found a pack of 8 wild dogs digging for water and sunning in a dried-up river. Mara is an incredible guide. I also saw... more
