Day 1: Upon arrival at Dar Es Salaam Airport, you
will be met by our local representative and transferred to the scheduled charter
terminal for your 45-minute onward flight to Beho Beho Airstrip. After you
disembark, you will take a 5-minute drive to your hotel – Beho Beho Safari Lodge.
After settling into your banda and having lunch, enjoy a
gentle afternoon game drive to introduce you to the area’s wildlife, followed
by a sundowner overlooking the bush and dinner at camp under the stars.
Days 2-3: Start the day with Beho Beho’s signature
guided walking safari, learning to track animals and understand the smaller

heat of the day, then head out on an afternoon game drive in search of
elephants, big cats, and wild dogs, ending with evening drinks by the fire.
The following morning, enjoy an early game drive when
wildlife is most active, followed by breakfast back at camp. The afternoon is
spent on a seasonal boat safari along rivers and lakes, offering close-up views
of hippos, crocodiles, and abundant birdlife, before a relaxed dinner at camp.
Day 4: After an early breakfast, depart camp with your guide and armed ranger for a longer, more immersive walking safari into remote areas rarely visited by vehicles. The focus is on tracking larger game
such as elephants, buffalo, and giraffe while also learning about plants, insects, and animal behaviour.
A bush picnic or light lunch is enjoyed in the shade,
followed by continued exploration on foot. As night falls, enjoy sundowners
around the fire, a freshly prepared dinner, and the sounds of the African bush,
before sleeping under canvas or the open sky.
