HOW IMPORTANT IS A GOOD SAFARI GUIDE?
Good guiding is arguably the most important part of any African safari. Fortunately for visitors to Kenya, there is a well-established and thorough system for training and certifying local safari guides. This includes formal training in colleges and a certification scheme. The Kenya Professional Safari Guides Association (KPSGA) undertakes the certification, which rates practicing guides through bronze, silver and gold examinations www.safariguides.org It is strongly recommended that any visitor who cares about his safari experience travel with a guide who is college-trained or at least KPSGA bronze-rated.
