The FGASA are providers of educational opportunities and courses that promote the conservation and rehabilitation of the cultural and natural heritage of South Africa and surrounding areas. To this end, FGASA consistently serves to support a plethora of highly qualified, experienced nature guides, hospitality institutions and tour operators who continue to convey the message they hold so true to their heart with FGASA through a specific natural, environmental code of conduct that continues to be adhered to.
Additionally, FGASA strives to promote a professional culture of tour guides who remain abreast of local culture and facts as they occur as well as the past historical events that form the rich tapestry of Southern Africa’s origins.
FGASA remain committed to the enhancement and implementation of National qualifications that are so important to achieve prior to undertaking any position of authority as a tour guide in the region and they are fully dedicated to ensuring that anyone who operates in a position of authority does so with the upmost care and attention for their outdoor surroundings.
The entire ethos of FGASA is one of promoting not just a superbly high standard of tourist guiding but also the skills development and successive job creation within the industry sector. Indeed, if you have aspirations to become an outdoor tour guide or provide a wealth of information to tourists in a public museum or nature reserve, it is a prerequisite that you complete a course accredited by FGASA.
Antares are a fast growing company who have been initiating FGASA endorsed Field Guide and game ranger courses across South Africa since 2000 and who, through a devotion to their loyal pupils have gained an excellent reputation for their superior level of customer service, support and advice. To date, the students who approach Antares for FGASA game ranger courses have resided from all corners of the globe and time upon time have been in daily awe, spending 88 days in the wondrous Balule Nature Reserve- a 40,000 hectare ‘big 5’reserve that borders the world renowned Kruger National Park.
