Qualification

Namibia Safari Guide Grading

There is no official body in Namibia that does grading and assessment certification for safari guides like there are in other African countries. Requirements to be a legal safari guide in this country include having a certificate or qualification from a recognized training institution in tour guiding, experience as a guide, training in first aid and a valid driving permit.

So for individuals to qualify for the Namibia Top Safari Guides list they need to conform to the above requirements and have a minimum of eight (8) years of guiding experience. They should also undergo regular guiding training.
