A Global Benchmark
for Guest-focused Guiding

Certifying and recognising guides delivering world-class guest experiences.

IFGA isn’t just a certification – it’s a globally informed benchmark for ethical, people-first guiding. Built with input from top lodges, it raises the standard for professionalism, consistency, and soft skills that resonate across borders.

Standards

Our standards, shaped by global insight, don’t stop at theoretical knowledge.
They reflect what today’s guests value most: meaningful, immersive, and human experiences. IFGA-certified guides are evaluated on their ability to inspire, educate, and connect – creating powerful memories that last well beyond the safari.
