Selous Game Reserve- as the largest reserve at 55,000sqkm, Selous can justifiably claim to offer unparalled wilderness.
Located in southern Tanzania, it is home to the largest populations of some of Africa's most sought after game, including elephant, lion, wild dog, leopard, buffalo, hippo and crocodile, yet it remains one of the least visited of the great game sanctuaries on the continent.
Full day game drives inside the reserve in 4 by 4 vehicles from Stable Mountain Lodge often do not pass a single other vehicle, since the North-west sector of the reserve is far away from the busier routes in the east. |
|
Sable Mountain Lodge Cottages- with just 8 stone cottages individually spaced out over the hillside, the lodge offers intimate and personal service in the midst of a vast wilderness.
The Facilities- at the heart of Sable Mountain Lodge is a restaurant serving international cuisine, and the well stocked "Cup and Bucket" bar, the perfect setting to unwind before dinner.
At night relax in the snug, the perfect place for stargazers to observe the pristine night sky and experience the sounds of the bush.
