Beho
Beho Camp
Located in the western region of Selous on the plains
looking out towards Lake Tagalala, this is one of the few camps
NOT situated on the Rufiji river. However the panoramic views and
procession of wildlife do not make this a problem.
THE ACCOMMODATION
Recently
renovated after years of neglect the 8 stone cottages are very spacious
and well furnished to the point of excess. The cottages are open
faced and have their own telescopes for game viewing from comfortable
chairs inside the cottage.
The open air showers are superbly constructed from local stone and
wood and the general feel which makes Beho Beho different from other
camps is this is more like a small cottage than a room to sleep
in.
THE FACILITIES
The huge central dining area and bar is furnished
along the lines of an old hunting lodge complete with a full sized
billiards table, deep leather chairs and Persian rugs. Meals can
be taken from the main table, one of the several lookout posts in
the main building or under the stars.
A small swimming pool is located near the central
building and a waterhole attracts animals throughout the day.
THE SAFARIS
Game drives, expertly guided walking safaris and
boat safaris on Lake Tagalala. The walking safaris particularly
in this region are to be recommended.
THE VERDICT
The camp has been very well renovated and is in
a scenic location. The somewhat over the top extravagance is reminiscent
of a traditional colonial hunting lodge. Management and guiding
staff has a very strong Zimbabwean and South African influence.
