Bush & Beach Zanzibar Expeditions

Bush & Beach combines a Tanzanian wildlife safari with a rest on Zanzibar's Indian Ocean coast. You track animals in the northern parks first, then fly to the island for beaches, Stone Town and a dhow cruise. See the trips on the Bush & Beach page.

It varies by trip. Our 7-day option has 3 days of safari and 4 on Zanzibar. The 10-day option has 6 safari days and 4 on the coast. The 15-day option has 8 safari days and 7 on Zanzibar. Each package page shows the exact split.

No. The flight from Arusha to Zanzibar is sold separately, at about USD 250 per person at the time of writing. Ask us for the current price and we can arrange it for you. International flights are also not included in the package price.

Typically, the drier months from about June to October, and again from December to February, are popular for beach weather. The long rains usually fall around March to May. Conditions vary, so ask us and we will match your safari dates with a good beach window.

In most cases, yes. If you like a safari package that has no beach extension, ask us to add Zanzibar days after it. We will confirm flights, hotels and the final price in a written quote. Start with the contact page.
