Personally, I'd go for more nights per place at fewer places.
The roads arent that good so the travelling is tiring (although you will see
game along the way, and African life).
After quite a lot of safaris (tho not in Kenya for many years) we now go for
at least 3 nights in any one place, and also flying between lodges if its a
long way.
I know many on this group say that having your own driver/guide for the
entire journey is better, but our only experience of that (in Tanzania)
wasnt brilliant, and we've found that the 'resident' guides (in Botswana,
Zimbabwe and Zambia anyway) at lodges are excellent and know 'their patch'
intimately.
Having said all that tho, our first safaris (in Kenya) were Kuoni packages
with (mostly) 2 nights at each lodge) and we enjoyed them enough to keep
going back!
