This is a top safari, staying in a camp that's consistently voted as one of the very best by our travellers; it journeys to southern Tanzania's Selous Game Reserve, for five superb nights at Beho Beho, with open-topped 4WD safaris, delightful boat trips on Lake Tangalala, and (particularly) first-class safaris on foot led by the resident walking safari guides.

Day 1

Starting from London Heathrow, your scheduled British Airways flies overnight directly to Dar es Salaam.

(See our comments on flights to Tanzania for more information on the flight options for your trip.)

Days 2-6 Selous Game Reserve, Tanzania

Landing early in Dar es Salaam, you'll be met and transferred to the domestic terminal to connect to a light aircraft to Beho Beho airstrip in the Selous Game Reserve. This flight is about 50 minutes, and upon arrival in the Selous you'll be driven for barely 5 minutes to...

Beho Beho (full board & activities)

You usually arrive in time for an excellent lunch, before going out for your afternoon activity. Your 5 nights here include activities with a high standard of guiding, with 4x4 drives, boat safaris and some of Tanzania's best walking safaris.

Day 7

After your last morning on safari, you fly to Dar es Salaam, and then either continue onto one of our beach add-on trips to Zanzibar, or further afield, or overnight in the city prior to connecting with your early-morning British Airways flight to London.

Notes: • The prices shown are per person sharing; call us for single person supplements. • For a night or two of more intimate adventure, consider fly-camping in Beho Beho's unique stylish way. The cost of upgrading a night at Beho Beho's camp, to a night fly-camping from Beho Beho is £169 per person for 2008. Adding a few days of beach relaxation to this safari is easy; we have lots of ideas! An easy addition would be a beach on Zanzibar, although for a quieter island, with great diving and snorkelling, consider our ideas for beach holidays on Mafia. Alternatively, continue your trip at a stunning private islands in northern Mozambique. Our beach holidays to Quirimbas Archipelago include some wonderfully remote and very beautiful private islands. At the other end of the scale, for a very short addition, consider two or three days by the coast. Our trips to Ras Kutani include minimal travel as it's only an hour's drive (or 10 minutes' flight) south of Dar!
