Sable Sands

The lounge, dining area and bar all sit under an expansive double-storey thatched area. The roof is cleverly designed to allow for the free-flow of air and the upper deck offers exceptional views of the surrounding bush and camp waterhole. Furnishings are simple and maybe a little sparse, but the bar is naturally adorned with a magnificent rosewood tree. An impressive leadwood holds a treehouse - great for a siesta or a view of the waterhole. There's also a hammock in which you can shoot the breeze, and a pool to cool off in (although the elephants like to drink this water, which means it isn't always the cleanest).

Instead of tents, there are sixteen traditional yet modern thatched rondavels (round huts). They have a distinctly African feel to them in the decor and layout. The ensuite bathrooms have a bathtub, shower and all the amenities you might need. Double or twin beds are draped with large mosquito nets and a simple porch sits out front. Though spacious enough, these rooms are nothing fancy. Ask for one of the rondavels with a view of the waterhole or the vlei.
