Beho Beho is probably the finest safari lodge in the reserve, set in beautiful hill country overlooking riverine forests, miombo woodlands and plains. It was the first lodge sited in the reserve so has arguably the most privileged position, the most comfortable temperatures all year round, and the most superb views.
Roho Ya Selous translates to ‘heart of the Selous’. The location truly lives up to its name and is the perfect place for wildlife enthusiasts.
The original Sand Rivers was built in 1984 by the pioneering guide Richard Bonham. Its successor, Nomad, still occupies this privileged position.
