About Sable Sands

This ‘off the grid’ eco friendly safari lodge is owner and family managed and has steadily established a great reputation for their personalised and bespoke experience complete with a passionate team, homely food and exceptional elephant encounters.

Sable Sands Lodge overlooks the ancient riverbed of the famous "Dete Vlei" and is located within a private Forestry Concession on the outskirts of the unfenced and world-famous Hwange National Park. Conveniently located 8km from the Hwange National Park and 200km from Victoria Falls, Sable Sands offers easy access to these African gems.

Comprising of sixteen spacious and open-plan thatched ‘rondavels’, simply yet elegantly furnished to create a blend of traditional culture, nature and modern convenience, this African Forest "home-away-from-home" welcomes guests to an exquisite safari setting in unspoilt surroundings.

Dining & Cuisine

Wholesome, Home Cooked meals, prepared by Foodies & Co
The owners Marleen and Brian are both from a food background. Brian previously worked in boutique hotels, outstanding lodges and event catering and Marleen owned a very popular French restaurant in Utrecht, The Netherlands which you had to book months in advance. Needless to say, food is a passion of theirs. The delicious and freshly prepared meals at Sable Sands are a contributing factor to their consistently high reviews. "We are a ‘Food Loving Home’, Vegan Friendly, and very passionate about cooking" Where possible the local gardens supply the fresh herbs and produce, however, due to the distance from the other suppliers (2.5 hours away) it is a good idea to pre book any dietary wishes, so the chefs can prepare their special menu for you. Don't be shy, Marleen eats a whole foods plant based diet herself!
