12 Days Tanzania Bush to Beach Classic

Typically, the package covers your accommodation in lodges, tented camps during the safari, and beach resorts. It also includes most meals, especially during the safari, and transportation like airport transfers and safari vehicles with guides. Park entry fees and scheduled activities in the itinerary are usually part of the deal, and sometimes internal flights between locations are included.

However, international flights are generally not included. You'll want to confirm the specifics with your tour operator, as inclusions can vary. Things like drinks, optional activities, and personal expenses are usually extra.

For the best wildlife viewing in the bush, the dry season (June to October) is ideal. Animals gather around water sources and vegetation is thinner. This period often coincides with good beach weather.

The shoulder seasons (late May/early June and late October/early November) can offer a balance of both experiences with fewer crowds. Avoid the long rainy season (March to May) for safaris.
