Review

Well, what can we say? Beho Beho is certainly a camp that is in the top three in East Africa if not Africa at the moment...they have been leading the way for the last few years in the Selous. Great location, up in the Beho Beho hills, away from the relative "traffic" in the park's centre. Great game viewing, with lion prides to the east and west and elephant wandering through the small valley below. Excellent service...something that they pride themselves on.

Superlatives really tend to fail us when talking about Beho Beho. Where other camps in the park score highly in certain aspects (such as game viewing, or service, or location), Beho Beho manages to tick all of the boxes. The guiding and game around the camp will satisfy even the most ardent of safari-philes. The rooms and communal areas will definitely tick the boxes of those looking for understated luxury. Finally, the food and service will content even the most fussy of eaters or hard to please!

Originally used as a hunting camp (a long time ago), Beho Beho, today, has the feel of a camp that has been in its location for years. The river stone that they have used to construct the sumptuous rooms and main buildings blends perfectly with the bush surroundings. The paths that the elephant use as a shortcut from one good eating patch to the other...it all feels right...and that is about as good a compliment as we can give!

It is true that the price tag is higher than other camps in the park but, for your once in a lifetime trip, we would argue why not spend a little more and make it something that you will aspire to for the rest of your life, rather than something memorable!

Beho Beho will never cease to amaze me! The standard is so high in every respect: hospitality,guides, bandas, food, staff. The game was plentiful and it was great to share the experience with our daughters who couldn't quite believe it. (this is their 4th visit to Beho Beho!!)

Beho Beho lodge was spectacular and I would recommend it to anyone. The game park is beautiful with excellent wild life. The lodge is comfortable and the cuisine as good as I have experienced in any restaurant.

All we can say as we loved everything about it and definitely want to return again sometime in the future. Walter is tremendously good at his job and runs a tight ship. We did three walks which were excellent, less game but a feeling of being much closer to everything.

Unfortunately the "bush night" was cancelled due to sudden heavy rain as we were about to depart but Walter took us down to see the treehouse and we would want to try again next time as it looks like a good experience (out in the bush with no hardship- hot shower and flush toilet!). As mentioned earlier the game was less abundant that reviews of the Selous had suggested to us but the fact that we still loved it is further testament to the Beho Beho experience.

One comment- we are unconvinced about Bailey's Banda (beautifully appointed and spec) that they are marketing quite heavily. If we return it will be to share the experience with good friends but we would still want to stay in the main lodge as I think in Bailey's Banda you could feel a bit out of things.

Beho beho has beautiful rooms and a very comfortable main area. As you know bb so well, I can't add much. I would only say that their high points are their overall commitment to making every stay special (dining venues and specialty trips to the lake and treetop) and quality of guiding. The only improvement I would suggest is to make lunch faster and less formal. The communal dinner thing is fun, but lunch often felt ponderous. The timing and vibe didn't work as well.
