The Selous & Ruaha, Tanzania
- Price on request
- Camps
- 8 Tent/s
Beho Beho has eight individual 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 verandah, with a plunge pool - the banda can be secured for the night with ‘tented curtains’ or left open as desired. Bandas can be either double or twin and some can also accommodate additional beds. Each banda has a separate dressing room leading into an en-suite bathroom with twin basins, high flush toilet and an ‘open air’ shower. All bandas are supplied with Charlotte Rhys toiletries and hairdryers.
Furnished in the style of a spacious private house, with comfortable seating, bar and dining areas and even a billiards room with a full-sized billiards table.
The most noticeable thing is that there are very few walls which ensures fantastic views over the reserve. The swimming pool is small but has magnificent views along the Kipalala Valley and is a pleasant place to cool off.
One hour’s walk away from the camp, perched up, alongside and within a giant Leadwood tree the Treehouse is an exclusive and exciting ‘night in the bush’ for two people. Guarded, guided and hosted by one of the Beho Beho walking guides, a comfortable, mosquito netted and wheeled bed can be located under shade or under the stars. There is also an en-suite shower and toilet facility in the tree complete with hot and cold running water. Guests pay a supplement and a minimum four nights stay at the camp is required.
Game Drives are taken in specially adapted 4WD open sided vehicles which offer shaded raised seating for better game viewing and are taken early in the morning or late afternoon.
Beho Beho also has a number of boats stationed at Lake Tagalala, about a 50 minute drive away from the camp. This excursion is usually done in the morning, culminating in breakfast under a shady tree. The lake is surrounded by a number of natural springs which attracts amazing birdlife as well as a large hippo and crocodile population. The quality of guiding at Beho Beho is second-to-none, and one of the real selling points.

Region
With Selous standing as the largest Game Reserve in Africa, and Ruaha as the largest National Park in Tanzania, both understandably boast a faunal paradise.
The Reserve covers a total area of 50,000 square kilometres at the heart of southern Tanzania, Selous' wildlife and its stunning riverine scenery rarely fail to impress. African bush elephants, lions and Cape buffalo can all be seen with ease, as they can be found in larger numbers than in any other African game reserve or national park. Selous is also home to Tanzania’s last remaining black rhinos and over 350 species of birds and reptile. Enjoy a safari or take a boat trip along Rufiji River for some unparalleled water-based wildlife watching.
With Tanzania’s largest elephant population, estimated at 12,000, and over 570 species of birds, one can see why Ruaha captures the hearts of its visitors. Wild and striking topography, especially around the Great Ruaha River, is home to crocodiles, hippos and wading birds, as well as typical African animals such as cheetah, wild dog and giraffe.
For a taste of quintessential Africa, these two places are definitely a must-go.
