Beho Beho is known as ’Wansalishi’ which when translated from the Swahili means ’the pioneer’. The first camp in the northern sector of the Selous game reserve, its stone cottages, perched on the lower slopes of Namikwera
Hill overlooking Kipalala Hill, offer panoramic views over the Rufiji river flood plain. Situated 145 miles south west of Dar es Salaam, as the crow flies, the camp is three miles from the grave of Frederick Courteney Selous. This is the archetypical safari lodge, offering visitors the true ’essence’ of a safari refuge - a luxurious base camp from which to explore on foot, by boat or by open safari cruiser the splendours of one of the largest game reserves in the world.
Location:
Situated at Kibambawe point on the north bank of the Rufiji river, ten miles downstream of Stieglers Gorge.
Accommodation and facilities:
Beho Beho has eight individual and very spacious bandas, (stone built and palm thatched cottages) furnished with king-sized beds, Zanzibari day beds, writing desks and comfortable ’suite’ furniture. The front of the banda is totally open and extends on to a spacious veranda. 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. The main area features open-sided lounges and dining areas together with a cocktail bar and ’billiards room’ providing a sophisticated setting for post safari relaxation. The swimming pool and deck are an ideal place to cool off.
Activities:
Activities at Beho Beho include game walks, full day game drives in open sided vehicles and boat trips. The lodge also offer ’Bushnights’, which consist of a privately led walk and a night out under the stars in specially
designed ’1001 nights’ style bush tents.
Special attractions:
Beho Beho is a special attraction in itself - experienced guides will plan your safari programme, whether you need time to relax and be pampered or need to do a 10kms game walk before breakfast in the bush. From sunrise to sunset, from early morning tea to sundowner a Beho Beho safari is planned to your requirements.
