Kenya Rafting Federation (KRF) is committed to a process of Kenya Raft Guide Certification (KRGC). All Guides will benefit from our structured, progressive learning Programs that are run in uniformity throughout the world. As KRF we believe in safety, protocols in water sports guides education for both recreational and competitive sports. This can only be achieved through proper training of guides until they reach instructor’s level.
This can only be achieved when guides are committed in moving from one level to another one. All our educational programs are accredited by KRF and all our International Partners. Our Rafting Training Programs have curriculum based education (CBE) in mind which is Kenya’s current curriculum of education. We adhere to International Rafting Federation and World Rafting Federation Protocols.
Sports is a big industry now and in the future. Many institutions will required trained certified guides/swimming pool attendants and KRF leads the way in making sure that happens. By the end of the short courses, a Certificate will be issued which is an added advantage in Kenya Tourism Industry.
Rafting is a recognised sporting discipline with its technical rules, specialist skills and professional guide competencies. Its commercial delivery as a tourism service does not remove its sporting character or automatically transfer national sports-governance authority to a tourism licensing body.
TAKE NOTE:
ONLY the Kenya Rafting Federation (KRF) can issue a Rafting Guide Certificate in Kenya. This applies to both Recreational Rafting (Commercial Rafting) and Competitive Sports through United Rafting; the new World Governing Body. The previous certifications outside the new framework will be valid till 1st of January 2028. This takes place after the Unification of World Rafting Federation WRF and International Rafting Federation IRF to form World Governing Body – United Rafting.
KRF is also in-charge of all Rafting Safety Standards in Kenya.
