Frequently asked questions
Can I add Beach Holidays after a Tanzania safari?
Yes. Beach Holidays uses genuine coastal or island rest days that we add after the safari circuit.
When should Beach Holidays come in the itinerary?
Usually after the safari, so you rest when game drives are done. We can reverse that if your flights work better the other way.
Are Beach Holidays days private or resort-based?
We book lodges or hotels that match your safari style — quiet boutique stays or family resorts — and handle the transfer.
Is snorkelling or diving included in Beach Holidays?
Water activities are listed when the destination supports them. They are optional extras unless your quote says otherwise.
