We started chatting to ours and got lots of added bits of info..

He also went the 'extra mile' and took us places that other guides didn’t go to - we saw the migration of about 10,000 zebra with no one else around. This was the most spectacular site. We also saw the kill of a buffalo by a lioness and her pride - this was most unusual, but had we not have made an effort to get to know our guide over the few days, he may not have made the effort ...

Make sure you go on AT LEAST a three-day tour - as one day of that will be spent travelling and tour companies conveniently forget to mention this! From Nairobi it takes about 6 hours to get to a lodge in the Mara, so you will only really have 2 days...

I went on safari to Kenya and it was truly fantastic - go to the Masai Mara - and hopefully your tour guide will venture into the serengeti in Tanzania! The Masai Mara is the biggest and the best park. The serengeti is the next biggest (I think) and the landscape, although beautiful, was not as breathtaking.

DO stay in a luxury lodge for at least 2 days...Not too expensive and everything is usually included and you are guaranteed to see at least the 'big 4' out of 5.

If you decide that you want a more rustic slash back to nature experience, then look around for a guidebook recommended lodge/camping site, as a few friends of mine went for the cheapest, and saw very little as the guides were not as experienced!
