Elephant safari

Elephant safari: In full

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 first-class on foot safaris led by the resident walking safari guides.

5 nights at Beho Beho (full board & activities) | Selous Game Reserve, Tanzania

Beho Beho somehow manages to combine quite a rustic outside, with...Landing early in Dar, you'll be met and transferred to the domestic terminal to connect to a light aircraft for the Selous Game Reserve. This 50-minute flight takes you inland 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. 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 Kenya Airways flight to London.
