OUR RECRUITMENT CRITERIA

MAKWA, IT'S ABOVE ALL A HUMAN EXPERIENCE

WHAT IS A MAKWA TOUR LEADER ?

Before setting off, our tour leaders receive 25 hours of training. During intensive
workshops and situational exercises, this training covers the following:

• Risk management and emergency situations
• Safe driving and reflexes
• Tour guide techniques
• Working with an adolescent clientele
• Camping techniques
MAKWA TRAINING
The Makwa tour leaders are respectful, approachable and dynamic, but more importantly, they’re fully trained to lead tours and ensure traveler safety, and they take these responsibilities to heart. Around
here, we call that the Makwa spirit. Friendly and resourceful, our tour leaders will know how to seamlessly integrate into your support team, adopt your tour director’s vision as their own, and make your trip the best it can be.
