The friendly and relaxed Sable Mountain Lodge is idyllically located in the Beho Beho hills just outside the Selous Game Reserve boundary; about 20 mins drive from the airport. Park fees are only paid when spent on safari inside the reserve offering an immediate cost saving compared to those lodges located inside the Selous. The lodge is the sister camp to Tent With A View in Sadaani National Park.

The lodge is set high on two peaks giving each of the eight comfortable ensuite stone cottages great views over the surrounding areas to the Uluguru Mountains. The honeymoon cottage has a small private water hole that is frequently visited by game. Construction has also just finished on five luxury tented bandas, two of which have private plunge pools.

The communal areas are pleasant and are well designed tucking in to the natural surroundings. The swimming pool itself is constructed over a natural spring and another spring feeds a waterhole overlooked by a variety of treehouses. Personalised game drives, walking safaris and and boat safaris on are all available from the lodge in the Selous. As the camp is outside the reserve boundary night drives are also possible.

The game viewing around the lodge is good and the area is especially famed for it’s elephant population. As this is currently the only lodge in this area of the reserve other vehicles are seldom encountered during drives,
