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

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...

Tent with a View's Sable Mountain Lodge is wonderful. The 'tents' are really elevated cabins that just happen to have canvas sides with huge screened windows. The tents have comfortable beds, chairs, good bathrooms and porches. great food, served promptly. very friendly, competent staff. One very interesting feature which I've never seen in the many nature lodges I've been to... More

Very remote, on the edge of the Selous game reserve, this place consists of a number of lovely luxury huts, set on a hillside, with great views, and attentive staff. Safaris are the main attraction, and just about all the big animals can be seen hereabouts More
