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 best smile in an incredible lodge surrounded by the bush and its mesmerizing sounds trying to give you the time of your life. That's what they did for us, I cannot thank them enough. To go into detail, we were picked up at Kisaki and had an amazing jeep ride in the bush (our jeeps headlights falling on the occasional Masai wondering in the bush) only to reach the incredible lodge! We were lucky enough to get the honeymoon suite! Our bed was looking into the bush, I will never forget the views when I woke up. That first night, I took a shower under the stars, looking at the full moon and hearing bush babies singing. The facility is very clean and safe, the food is excellent and the hospitality out of this world. I hope I'll be lucky enough to return some day!!!

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 also lessened by the use of it's own spring and power from solar panels. The scattered nature of the bandas combined with the stunning views all adds to the illusion of remoteness and the experience. The lodge is wonderful but what takes this place to another level is the staff. They were friendly, knowledgeable and seemed to have a genuine interest and pride in their work.

This lodge is is just outside the game reserve and reachable by car, train( a great experience!) and by small plane. 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 vehicles offer good game viewing and the driver/guides are excellent. This is not a place for visitors with disabilities as the rooms , restaurant and entrance are quite spread out and one bceomes quite fit from walking up and down short but steep slopes. Absolutely recommended.

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 water from the spring is a unique idea especially after a hot day in the park; the safari in the park was amazingly guided, David and Rama are very knowledgeable and very pleasant guides; if you are a bird watcher, ask for a ranger to accompany you and walk along the road down to the forest, you will see lots of birds; the Masai vilage is worhth to visit especially if you are visitor to Tanzania (we had a music concert there and it was a unique experience); indeed, also quality-cost, it is a recommended lodge were to stay when visiting the Selous reserve. Enjoy!
