This is a top safari, staying in a camp that's consistently voted as one of the very best by our travellers; it journeys to southern Tanzania's Selous Game Reserve, for five superb nights at Beho Beho, with open-topped 4WD safaris, delightful boat trips on Lake Tangalala, and (particularly) first-class safaris on foot led by the resident walking safari guides.

Day 1

Starting from London Heathrow, your scheduled British Airways flies overnight directly to Dar es Salaam. (See our comments on flights to Tanzania for more information on the flight options for your trip.)

Days 2-6 Selous Game Reserve, Tanzania

Landing early in Dar es Salaam, you'll be met and transferred to the domestic terminal to connect to a light aircraft for the Selous Game Reserve. Flying inland and to the west, this 50-minute flight goes straight to the Selous. You may stop briefly at other airstrips in the park, before arriving at the Beho Beho airstrip, from where it's barely 5 minutes' drive to your home from home at –

Beho Beho (full board & activities)

You usually arrive in time for an excellent lunch, before going out for your afternoon activity. Your 5 nights here include activities with a high standard of guiding, with 4x4 drives, boat safaris and some of Tanzania's best walking safaris.

Day 7

After your last morning on safari, you fly to Dar es Salaam, and then either continue onto one of our beach add-on trips to Zanzibar, or further afield, or overnight in the city prior to connecting with your early-morning British Airways flight to London.
