I honestly doubt if - for that kind of money - the driver is actually any good in driving in the Mara and, more important, knows how to act as a guide
The Mara is very easy to drive in these days because you are limited to existing roads and trails. In the old days we could drive anywhere.
The key to the game drives these days are the radios. The rangers even in the light aircraft and other guides are constantly updating what animals are where. All you need is a radio and ability to understand Swahili and Massai.
You will have no problem finding a good driver for the Mara.

And that's why it looks like this in the NP's....tons of aggressive Mario Karts jockeying for position with loads of iPhone shooters doing selfies:
And that is why I always self drive in the remote areas. That is not Safari as I know it nor would accept. Real Africa still exists in some remote areas. These pictures just make me sand and angry.
Is this what you guys are experiencing when you go to Africa? Why go?
