Gold Level
This is currently the most advanced level attainable within the KPSGA framework, and Gold Level guides are considered by the KPSGA (and indeed industry-wide) to be among the best guides in Kenya. The Gold level exam entails a fair amount of preparation beforehand, with various submissions and vetting required before candidates head off to Naivasha for a 3-day assessment. Full details of the assessment are given to candidates upon application, but in general, this assessment covers essay questions, debates, guiding skills, and field assessments.
A Gold Level guide is the ultimate ambassador for the KPSGA, for their company, and for Kenya as a whole, representing an exceptional level of knowledge and skills in the field, and offering safari experiences of the highest quality.
