Round III of Most Responsible Safari Guide 2008
Thursday, November 13, 2008 at 11:14AM 
The aim of the competition is to encourage responsible guiding and to raise industry standards.
Sponsored by the Born Free Foundation and Kenya Airways, Mara Triangle's Most Responsible Safari Guide of 2008 will win an all expenses paid, two week safari guide training experience at South Luangwa National Park, Zambia.
Nominations for Round I are now over, and we're pleased to say that all nominees qualified for Round II and are now into Round III: The Mystery Guest.
Over the coming weeks all qualified nominees will be subject to an expert Mystery Guest who will sit in on a game drive, unbeknown to the guide, and assess each guide against the Travel Foundation's Responsible Safari Guiding Checklist.
Good luck to drivers from Bateleur Camp, Kichwa Tembo, Mara West, Oloonana, Serena, Siria, Kilima and Mpata!
We wish KTN better luck next year.

good luck to the guides. what a great idea for this contest!
How exciting for the winner. I hope this possible prize for any of the guides will make them more responsible in case they aren't already. Expert mystery guest? Hope we can find out when the contest is over.
Could we please know the names of the guides who have made it this far. We were at Kichwa Tembo in August and would love to know if either Benson or Shani are in the competition. They were both great guides, very respectful of the Mara and so very knowledgable.
I wish all the participants best of luck in their Round 3 trials. This will be a historic event of its kind in this region and therefore all those participating will be our ambassadors at the end. I also thank all the sponsors, for having come forward with such a wonderful idea, which will assist in making our Guides more responsible.May God bless you!!!
