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.
