Offering spectacular views across the plains to the front of the camp, Beho Beho is built on the gentle slope of a hill. Its eight spacious and individual stonewalled, thatched bandas are each equipped with a lounge, large bed, en-suite bathroom, dressing room and large shower. The open fronts and elevated position of the bandas means the rooms are nicely ventilated. A Zanzibar daybed is available for families and children who wish to sleep in the same room.

The service at Beho Beho is personal and homely. The minimum stay here is three nights as too much change is not particularly desirable. The main house is large and airy with a snooker table to the rear and further comprises a bar, lounge and various tables. Meals are usually served outdoors at the front of the camp or just around the corner in a separate, two-storey banda with views over the waterhole. The lower floor houses a library with Internet access - WIFI access is available in all rooms.

A beautiful swimming pool is located some 80 m from the main building. The pool area is equipped with comfortable loungers for guests to simply lay back and relax in.

With its own chef, staff and private guide, the luxury two-storey Bailey’s Banda is available for families that seek a private experience.

Nyerere National Park, formerly known as northern part of the Selous Game Reserve, covers 30'893 km2 of wilderness and is twice as large as the Serengeti. The area was declared a National Park in 2019 and is since the largest National Park in Tanzania. At 600 km long, the Rufiji River is the longest river in East Africa and the park's life-giving vein. This ramified river system includes five large lakes (from east to west): Lake Tagalala, Lake Manze, Lake Nzerakera, Lake Siwandu and Lake Mzizimia.

The park comprises 75% miombo woodland, but most noticeable are the many wonderful palms, particularly the borassus and doum palms, as well as the many candelabra trees (euphorbia candelabrum).

Nyerere National Park is accessed by light aircraft from Dar Es Salaam and can be seamlessly combined with a trip to Ruaha National Park. The flight to Ruaha National Park takes approx. 1 hr 30 minutes; the flight to Dar Es Salaam takes approx. 35 minutes.

Beho Beho has its own Airstrip. The drive from the airstrip to camp takes just several minutes. The camp is situated north of Lake Tagalala on the slope of Kipalala Hill.

Nyerere National Park is renowned for its concentration of wild dog. Various packs of between 6 and 20 animals roam the game drive area. The park, however, is huge and a little luck is still needed to spot them.

Lion and hyena are quite numerous and almost guaranteed; leopard are more difficult to find and cheetah not at all. The dry season is good for elephant, buffalo, kudu, zebra, waterbuck, wildebeest and impala, all of which quench their thirst at the river and lakes. Nyerere is home to an extraordinary number of giraffe - a popular animal with guests. High concentrations of hippo and crocodile can also be found in the rivers and swamps, and more than 430 species of bird are known to live here. The lakes are popular with many types of bird, including pelican, marabou, stork, osprey and vulture - to name just the largest!

Activities at Beho Beho are carried out according to guests' wishes. Visitors are not always accompanied by the same guide, but choose an activity, which is then carried with the aid of the relevant specialist guide.

The camp offers game drives in open 4x4 vehicles with a maximum of 4 guests per vehicle and walking safaris with specialist guides. Boat trips take place on Lake Tagalala where Beho Beho has its own private boat. The drive to Lake Tagalala takes approx 40 minutes; travel time is extended when combined with a game drive. There are several hot springs located in the vicinity where guests can bathe.

Nyerere is a highly diversified park that is not only discoverable on foot or by vehicle, but also by boat.
