For five days you will join an amazing group of people - hosts, guides, guests and staff who will make your stay both memorable and special.

Most guests just say Wow.

4 Beho Beho Selous Game Reserve Voted by The Sunday Times as some of the sexiest rooms in the world, with king sized beds, star showers and huge verandahs. The only problem with these rooms is that you do not get enough time to spend in them.

Leaving the camp on foot in the late afternoon allows sufficient time to arrive in camp before sundown. Time for a shower before dinner around the camp fire under the stars just you and your walking guide host ever vigilant of your safety and enjoyment of this wonderful experience. This camp does not do camp beds but a good night s sleep could possibly be interrupted by what was that? sounds very close by. An early morning walk and a hearty breakfast complete this experience before returning to camp on foot of course!

6 Beho Beho Selous Game Reserve But it is not only the safari element that endears most guests to this safari home, it is the house party atmosphere and the exceptional hospitality that makes this camp very special. Dinners are a big event around a family candle lit table where guests and guides discuss the fun of the day in the bush after dinner may be spent around the billiards table, or sunk into comfy chairs enjoying a nightcap listening to the sounds of the bush, or yet another tall story.

8 Four night Southern Tanzania itinerary Four night fully inclusive package Featuring The Selous Game Reserve One of the largest areas of game preservation in Africa. At almost 55,000sq kms this reserve is larger than some countries. It is not only the spectacular wildlife viewing that is attractive about the reserve but the absence of tourism in any large numbers. It is still possible to stay for days without seeing any other human beings just wild, wild nature in all her splendour. Elephant and buffalo herds, pods of hippo, prides of lion, leopard, plains game ( antelope, gazelle, wildebeest and buck) journeys of giraffe, packs of the rare and elusive wild dogs and the even more elusive, but occasionally sighted, rhinoceros. Four nights at Beho Beho one of the finest camps in East Africa Dar es Salaam Dar es Salaam (Haven of Peace) is the commercial capital of Tanzania, perfectly located on the Indian Ocean coast providing safe haven for the dhows of old plying the trade winds between Arabia and India. Now a thriving port city and international arrival and departure point for this safari itinerary. Last night at The Oyster Bay the chicest boutique hotel in town Includes All games drives, walks, boat trips, bird watching and guided game activities. Bush Night experience at Beho Beho All meals and drinks, sundowners, cocktails and wine with meals All park entry fees, and conservation fees Domestic flights Dar / Selous / Dar All airport and airstrip transfers

9 Arrive in Dar es Salaam International airport, pass through immigration and customs and be met by our driver who will take you to the domestic terminal for your onward flight to the Selous. As the small planes to the Selous have baggage restrictions of 15 kgs it is sensible to pack two bags one for safari and one for the island then the island bag can be left with the driver to be held at The Oyster Bay until your arrival but don t forget some swimwear for your safari as Beho Beho has a game viewing swimming pool The flight to the Selous Game Reserve leaves at 0830 and it takes about one hour until you land at the Beho Beho private airstrip where you will be met by your hosts and driven the short distance (about five minutes) to Beho Beho one of the finest camps in East Africa. Beho Beho, owned by the Bailey family for almost forty years, is considered by them to be their home in the bush and whilst they spend very little time there each year it still reflects their taste for comfort and is very much a private home to be loved and enjoyed. There is a family of hosts, guides and staff to look after you and to help you explore this wonderfully unspoilt part of natural Africa, in open sided game driving vehicles, in boats on the nearby Lake Tagalala, and on foot safely guarded and guided by our qualified and vastly experienced walking guides. The safari ends with a short flight back to Dar es Salaam where you will be met and chauffeur driven to The Oyster Bay for an overnight stay before connecting with your departing flight from Dar es Salaam
