Beho Beho was the first accommodation to be built in the cooler highlands of the Nyerere National Park ('The Selous'). It's a private, family-owned camp overlooking a river gorge that carves through the famed reserve and the views are spot on. Sleeping-wise, there are nine spacious palm-leaf and stone cottages (or bandas), spread out to either side of the main house and there's also a treehouse for a more intimate night-time wildlife experience. As well as excellent game viewing, expect to be fed and watered extremely well and your every request catered for.

The camp consists of nine spacious palm-leaf thatched cottages (or bandas) built from local stone. The main suite is open in the front, but a canvas curtain can be drawn across at night. There are comfortable chairs, a huge mosquito-netted bed, a Zanzibari day-bed, a writing bureau, Persian carpets and a tripod-mounted telescope to spot game. The banda also has a separate dressing room, bathroom and open-air shower.
The traditional stone 'bandas' are great fun to sleep in, especially if you've only ever slept under canvas - and the outdoor showers are a welcome extra in the hot months.
Be sure to visit the secret hot springs in the Beho Beho hills; the pools of deliciously fresh water make for a magical, spa-like experience.
The cottages are open-fronted, offering excellent views and a real connection to your surroundings - but they're not for the nervous!
