The safari offers game drives, optional excursions, and a range of accommodation alternatives, including luxury lodges, tented camps, and luxury hotels. During a 3-day safari to these three destinations, visitors can expect to embark on game drives in each park, guided by experienced safari guides who are knowledgeable about the local flora and fauna.

Additionally, some tour operators may offer optional activities such as walking safaris or cultural visits to nearby Maasai villages.
