"Simply the Best!"

5 nights Arrived 13 Sep 2014
"This is a wonderful camp! We were a bit concerned it might feel a little too luxurious and therefore remote from the surroundings but we need not have worried. The bandas are, without doubt, luxurious but the feeling of waking up under your mosquito net with nothing between you and the landscape is stunning.

The facilities in the central area are beautiful and the snooker table great fun. The food was five star and served in several beautiful settings. ALL the staff, led by Walter, work as a fantastic team so that when Walter and Karen were away for a holiday, Phil and Tricia took over seamlessly. They have got this so right and there is a real family feel about the place.

Our game sightings were excellent and all the guides were amazing and were around at lunchtime and in the evening in the lounge area to chat and eat with us. A lovely cake was provided for Chris's birthday. We cannot praise Beho Beho enough." See all these reviews: 10n in Tanzania

"Beho Beho - wow!"

5 nights Arrived 1 Sep 2014
"As safari novices, we were amazed to see so much wildlife from the veranda of our banda at Beho-Beho before we had set foot outside the camp. It is set above a spring-fed river ravine and offers tremendous views with an audio track to match. The bandas provide bush-style luxury where one can drift off to sleep under the mozzy-net listening to the night-sounds of the Selous. The wildlife is free to wander through the camp night and day – and does; the elephant blocking our way from the bar back to our banda was no alcohol-induced illusion!

After early tea or coffee, the first daily safari sets out at 6:30am with bush-breakfast served by your guide around 8:00am. It is back to base for a delicious lunch, then to be plied with delicious cakes at tea time and then out again for a shorter safari at 4:30pm. Sundowner cocktails are served in the bush, again by your guide, around 6:30pm before returning to camp by 7pm in time for dinner. Meals at Beho-Beho were always a delight and we enjoyed the house-party style, with guests and guides dining and mingling together and sharing safari stories.

We found the longer morning safari to be ideal for longer trips by vehicle with the shorter, afternoon excursion being a good opportunity to take a walking safari. But it is entirely the guests’ choice what they want to do and the guides devote themselves to making every minute an experience and delight.

Beho-Beho is clearly run by a highly motivated and competent team. Guest numbers are kept low and standards very high. The aim is to create the ambiance of a lodge for family and guests – as indeed Beho-Beho originally was – and it certainly worked for us." See all these reviews: 11n in Tanzania

"Fabulous Beho Beho"

5 nights Arrived 29 Aug 2014
"It was delightful to arrive at the Beho Beho airstrip and have only a two-minute drive to camp! We arrived in time for lunch, the first of our wonderful meals at there. The food was the best we have had in any camp, and rivaled that of any fine resort or restaurant. The tables were beautifully set in several varied locations -- poolside, in Bailey's Banda, in the overlook, etc. Lunches were usually served buffet style with many choices, and dinners were more formally served. The guests were always joined by one of the managers and some of the guides at each meal.

The bandas are spacious and beautifully appointed. The large bathroom and open air shower had hot water always available. A safe is provided for valuables and a wooden box is supplied for keeping soaps, medicines, and lotions out of the hands of the squirrels who like to drop in. The dressing area has lots of shelves and a large bench. A universal charging strip is provided in each room. The room is open to the view, and the resident geckos make short work of any insect who dares to come in. A telescope is set to enhance game-viewing from your room. Numerous lounges and comfy chairs make relaxing there such a pleasure. And the swimming pool was cool and refreshing.

Beho Beho provides a wide variety of activities, and makes it possible for each guest to choose how to occupy their day. We did several game drives, two walking treks, and the enjoyable drive to Lake Tagalala for the pontoon boat trip and breakfast on the beach. We also stopped at the hot springs for a dip on the way back to camp. The trip to the lake provides the opportunity to see crocodiles, hippos, and plentiful birds.

We enjoyed the rotation of guides at Beho Beho, which gave us the opportunity to learn from their varied backgrounds and expertise. The manager and assistant manager also participate as guides. We had wonderful sightings of lions at play, and watched them for hours without seeing another vehicle. Because of its remote location, it is rare to see more than one other car each day.

This was one of our best safari experiences ever!" See all these reviews: 10n in Tanzania; 7n in Kenya

"Luxury Safari"

5 nights Arrived 17 Jul 2014
"Its hard to put it in words how incredible our Beho Beho experience was. Everything was so detailed and well thought out and seamlessly delivered.

The guides were so knowledgeable and the lodge's 'family' ethos meant that we got to know the guides really well (dining with them before and/or after safaris). Little surprises made us feel very special and a night in the tree house is a must. Food was stunning and it was great eating in different locations. The banda accommodation was also very high standard. Highly recommended." See all these reviews: 7n in Tanzania; 7n in Zanzibar

"Pampered in style"

4 nights Arrived 2 Jul 2014
"What cannot say enough about Beho Beho! The place is well managed and as a result the final product looks effortless. This is a luxurious safari lodge that wants you to have different experiences, whether I'd be the luncheon venue or the boat safari. Etc

Food was also of a high standard; variety of freshly made breads, lovely puddings and good South African wine. The morning game drives were up to 6 hours ling; unheard of on the safari circuit!" See all these reviews: 5n in Tanzania; 5n in Rwanda; 1n in Kenya

"Beho Beho - Simply the Best!"

5 nights Arrived 12 Feb 2014
"Our third visit to Beho Beho and once again we had a fabulous time. Walter and Karin are fantastic hosts, all the guides well informed and fun as well.

The food is superb and served in different locations around the camp. Our banda was clean and very well furnished and Mr Simba still dispenses wonderful cocktails!

Oh yes and we also saw lots of game, including herds of elephants and the wild dogs. We are already looking forward to a return visit!" See all these reviews: 9n in Tanzania

"Beho Beho review"

4 nights Arrived 5 Feb 2014
"See earlier comments [Ed: see below!].

Great camp, great team, great experience. Pluses include the variety of options and rotation of guides. Negatives would be the camp is looking a bit tired and game viewing of predators will not be as prolific as other locations in Africa.

A gym would be a good addition.

The self contained lodge - Baileys Banda - is lovely." See all these reviews: 8n in Tanzania

"Beho Beho review"

2 nights Arrived 2 Feb 2014
"We enjoyed our stay and the team at Beho could not have done more to be accommodating. Guides were very knowledgable and friendly. They offered walks as well as drives and rotated guides to provide variety.

The trip to Lake Tagalala is a great experience and not to be missed. Ditto the Tree House experience. Game viewing in the Selous, Tanzania is not as prolific as other locations. The animals are often nervous and you are unlikely to see the big five but if you have done your homework you will know this and there are plenty of the 'lesser' animals and bird life to occupy you.

The camp is spacious, as are the individual rooms, and has good facilities. Likewise the food and dining experiences are excellent.

It was our second visit, the previous visit being two years ago. The climate is harsh and the camp is showing its age - faded soft furnishings etc and if Beho wants to preserve its status as a premier camp it will require investment to update and refresh.

Finally, the vehicles are Toyota Landcruisers - noisy and low ground clearance meant they often grounded and got stuck in mud." See all these reviews: 8n in Tanzania

"Luxury in the Wilderness"

3 nights Arrived 10 Jan 2014
"Out of this world experience in the Selous. Felt like we were in the lost Eden, surrounded by animals, and yet in comfort and luxury.

Wonderful service from Staff and Guides excellent. We will be back, and will spread the word. Worth the price tag as this is one true 'Out of Africa' experience with a touch of colonial style and individual flare.

Thankyou Werner, Rika, Walter, Karin, Salum, Saningo and all. Asante Sana" See all these reviews: 7n in Tanzania; 6n in Zanzibar
