The lodge is owner managed by Brian & Marleen Sabeta and has built up a great reputation for the enthusiastic team and hospitality.

The Sable Sands off 16 thatched ‘rondavels’ which are scattered along the vlei and nestled in the rosewood and teak forest. The traditional African home-style rondavels have en-suite bathrooms, mosquito nets and very comfortable beds.
Guests often watch elephants and splashing around in the solar-pumped waterhole or zebras rolling around in the dirt from their rooms or day-beds. To complete the Sable Sands experience is the delicious, creative and freshly prepared food that comes out the little bush kitchen, guests are always looking forward to the next meal.
Things to Do
