“Awesome!”

We just spent a Fantastic Christmas at Beho Beho.
Highly recommended for those who have already seen the Big 5 and particularly want a real wilderness experience in true luxury. Great place to see Wild dogs and we saw them twice, once the pack of 21 were preparing to hunt. We saw lions and a leopard as well as loads of plains game. The Guided walks we did with Ian were great and FINALLY we saw our first Honey badger as well as encountering many elephants.
Overall a very memorable Christmas with FANTASTIC food, staff, rooms and game viewing.

Room Tip: Room 5 has a bath and is an end room!

We spent part of our honeymoon here and we are desperate to go back, Beho Beho is totally fab. The rooms are out of this world, the food delicious and the staff could not be more friendly. STAY HERE !! it will be the best holiday you go on!

Room Tip: We stayed in the honeymoon suite - the outdoor bath is a must!

“Pearl of the Selous”

Our 5-night stay at Beho Beho has to be the highlight of our Tanzanian safari. Beho Beho really lives up to its name and our expectations were not only met but actually exceeded! The lodge staff and management team, headed by Kimberley and Ian, had a lot to do with this, as they tried so hard to keep us happy and surprise us at all times (I don’t want to spoil this for you so I won’t go into further details).

The place was pure luxury and indulgence without being pretentious, which you must agree is a difficult balance to achieve! The rooms and facilities were first-rate, the food and wine were gorgeous (well done to Karin for the high quality of all meals: breakfast, lunch, tea-time and dinner – 5 star cuisine!) and the atmosphere was very sociable with guests and staff sharing stories at mealtimes in various wonderful locations. It felt like being in a top restaurant with friends (with the occasional hippo/elephant visitor as a bonus!). We met some great people from the UK and the US, and shared a couple of very entertaining dinners with the owner Charles Bailey, his operations / finance guys Sean and Dominic, and his witty Marketing side-kick Georges, who excels at British humour.

Last but not least, the guiding was outstanding. Twice a day, you could choose between game drives and game walks, which were equally spectacular. The highlight of our game drives was seeing a pack of wild dogs with their pups, two days in a row, whilst the highlight of our game walks was a close encounter with 3 lions followed by a surprise appearance from a hippo! We had excitement but also emotion, and I confess that watching a mother impala fighting relentlessly to save her injured lamb from a martial eagle left me in tears. A tough reminder that nature can be cruel…! Many thanks to Walter, Ian and Heribert for sharing their knowledge with us and to everyone for looking after us so well.

This is a once in a lifetime experience. Go and experience it for yourself.

“Like staying at a friend's country house...in Africa!!”

After 2 weeks in Tanzania, we spent our last 4 nights at Beho Beho - it was like staying at a friend's country house! The location up in the highlands means incredible views and a constant, refreshing breeze that keeps the temperatures comfy, even when it's hot. Our stone and thatch banda was luxurious, with an open front overlooking the plains below, a comfy 4 poster bed and huge bathroom with a open-air stone shower! Kudos to Karin as the food was excellent - delicious, imaginative and beautiful to look at! The birthday cake was an unexpected treat, a wonderful way to celebrate the day! The safari drives were special with comfortable 4-guest vehicles, the lake trip was wonderful and all the guides were very knowledgeable, with different guides each day enabling you to learn different things from each. Walter, Onesmo and Heribert were amazing! While we didn't do the safari walks, others raved about them and their overnight stay in the bush, something we'll try the next time! And we will return - 5 trips to Africa and Beho Beho ranks right up there with the best of the best! Bob and Mary Beth Wheeler, California

“Hamilton Ashworth- Beho Beho”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 November 2011

Please keep this secret,this is a magical fantastic place that Mr Bailey has created.
Having travelled extensively around the world, i can honestly say this is truly a special part of the world.
We were lucky enough to have dinner on our last night with the main man,he said to me that many people take out of Africa but he wanted to put something back....he surely has.
He has assembled many of the best people to run this establishment,and as a result we had a wonderful time.
The interior design is world class and i have no hesitation of recommmending this holiday destination.
Well done Mr Bailey you have a winning combination!
