Beho Beho

Beho Beho is known as ‘wansalishi’ which means  ‘the pioneer’ in Swahili. The first camp in the Northern sector of the Selous Game Reserve, its stone cottages offer panoramic views over the Rufiji River flood plain.

Beho Beho has 8 individual very spacious bandas. Furnished with king-sized beds, Zanzibari day beds, writing desks and comfortable ‘suite’ furniture. The front of the banda is totally open extending onto a spacious verandah. The banda can be secured for the night with ‘tented curtains’ or left open as desired. Each banda has a separate dressing room leading into an en suite bathroom with twin basins, high flush WC and an ‘open air’ shower.

It is furnished in the style of a private house with comfortable seating and dining areas. The most noticeable thing, is that there are few walls. Shaded and protected by a huge palm thatched roof, there is also a full sized billiards table. There are several lookouts where breakfast and lunch are served and areas for dining under the stars. Bush Breakfasts and picnics are also arranged for longer safaris.

The Selous Game reserve is situated between 8° and 10° South of the Equator, enjoying very warm sunny days and warm evenings. The hillside location of Beho Beho has cooling breezes most afternoons. In the ‘rainy’ season, Nov/Dec and April/May there is heavy rainfall during part of the day.

Game Drive and Walking Safari – Lake Tagalala and Maji Moto. After a short Game drive, you arrive at Lake Tagalala for your boat safari. The lake is surrounded by a number of natural springs which attract amazing birdlife and a large Hippo and crocodile population. After a bush breakfast, a short walk takes you to the hot sulphur springs, Maji Moto.  Here you can swim in the deep natural pools before returning to Beho Beho.
