Competent drivers / rangers. Well equipped vehicles. All in all a wonderful introduction to real Africa, which I had left 55 years ago. A would like to mention that the mother company "A Tent With A... more

We were very pleased that we found Sable Mountain and Tent with A View Safaris. It was our first trip to Africa and planning through Rama was a seamless and pleasant experience to say the least. He looked after planning our whole 13 day trip including time in the mountains and the coast. The staff at Sable Mountain made our... more

we spent 5 days in their capable hands and did two nights of fly camping. Expectations were exceeded, our driver/ guide (Rama) was awesome. You have to appreciate some of their challenges and they truly do everything they can, Go for the honeymoon cabin! more

We stayed here for 4 nights and had a pleasant time. The lodge is spread out over quite a wide area with a few hundred yards from some of the rooms to the bar area. Our room was a permanent tent with nice bed and bathroom although quite why the toilet is positioned so there is no privacy is beyond... more

Together with a friend I stayed 6 nights at Sable Mountain Lodge, of which 2 were spent fly-camping in the bush. We came in from Dar with the train going to Kasaki, where we were met at the train and taken to the camp for a late evening meal. Taking the train (6h) and experiencing life along the rail road... more

I traveled here with my wife for our honeymoon. First let me say that this outfit really has it together. We were supposed to go there by train, but there was a sudden accident with a cargo train, thereby shutting down the service. We arrived by plane in Dar, and they already had a new plan for us, and a... more

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
