DH and I traveled through Kenya and Tanzania in 1996 independently. The highlights for us were visiting Ngorongoro Crater, Serengeti, and climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro. For that trip and others we've had great luck with advice from Lonely Planet guidebooks, and also their web site. Their Thorntree board has posts from current travelers.
I have no financial or other stake in Lonely Planet. They are just great for budget travelers trying to be good citizens of the world.
Even if you stick with OAT (I know nothing about them positive or negative) you will likely learn much of interest from reading LP. You can get a lot from their web site for free.
Rough Guide and Moon are good publishers too.
Make sure to start getting your vaccinations in time before you go!
