Beho Beho is owned and run by the Bailey family and their terrific team of guides and in-house staff members. The Operations Director is Sean Lues, a Zimbabwean pro guide and winner of the Guides Association’s ‘Guide of the Year’ award. Accommodation is booked on a full-board basis, including all meals, a selection of alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks, and a laundry service. The property is closed from 21st March to 1st June every year, as this is when Nyerere National Park's (formerly Selous) long rains disrupt flights and activities.
The property is accessed via 5 minutes’ road transfer from its own airstrip. Unlike most of the camps and lodges in Nyerere, it’s situated in the reserve’s highlands – the name Beho Beho references the cool breezes that waft through camp. There are sweeping views over the River Rufiji’s floodplain!
Guest accommodation consists of ten bandas, including Bailey’s Banda, a two-bedroom cottage set up at a distance from the standard one-bedroom buildings. All bandas have private plunge pools and are made out of local stone, and each has a palm-thatch roof.

Witness the Central Kalahari and the Makgadikgadi and Nxai Pans transform into a vast green grassland in time for the arrival of Botswana’s yearly zebra migration. This is also the calving season for various antelopes which means predators such as the black maned lions of the Kalahari will be lurking nearby.
