Highlights
What We Love
- Catching the cooling breeze on Kipalala Hill in the afternoon heat
- A stylish private villa with personal chef, pool and open-air vehicle
- Bandas made from stone and palm that are open to the pristine bush
When To Visit
Peak Season: June to October
The lodge’s waterhole is popular with impala, baboons and more as water sources recede.
Green Season: March to May November to December
November to December – annual short rains. March to May – annual long rains. Nyerere’s massive herds and plentiful predators make the most of abundant food before high season arrives.
Closed: Mid-March to June
Overview
As the first site in Nyerere National Park (formerly Selous Game Reserve), Beho Beho has an amazing location on Kipalala Hill overlooking the floodplain of the Rufiji River. Nearby, the Msine tributary of the Beho Beho River attracts even more game while water birds and semi-aquatic species can be appreciated boating on Lake Tagalala. This is a remote wonderland of teeming riverine forests and thriving miombo woodland.
At ‘home’, you can choose between a banda and the private house. All have welcome extras like private pools and telescopes out the deck for constant game viewing. From camp, you can walk to the grave of Frederick Courtney Selous, after whom the park was originally named. This is definitely a kick-off-your-shoes lodge!
