Uganda Safari Guide Grading
There is no official body in Uganda that does grading and assessment certification for safari guides like there are in some other African countries. The Uganda Safari Guides Association (USAGA) is a company where guides can recieve training and certification. The Uganda Wildlife Authority (UWA) which is a semi-autonomous government agency that conserves and manages Uganda’s wildlife also provides training and courses for guides. Tourism degrees and diplomas are also offered by tertiary education institutions.
Requirements to be a legal safari guide in this country include having a certificate or qualification from a recognized training institution in tour guiding, training in first aid and a valid driving permit.
So for individuals to qualify for the Uganda Top Safari Guides list they need to conform to the above requirements and have a minimum of six (6) years of guiding experience. They should also undergo regular guiding training.
