The quality of OAG's terrain biking adventure certification courses has been crucial to our successful biking operations at the Shai Hills Reserve.

Kojo Oduro

Executive Manager, Shai Hills Mt & Quad Biking
I had the pleasure of working with the OAG as part of a 2-year mountaineering and abseil guiding certification programme. The experience was mind-changing and I run Kupenda's risk assessment by the deep lessons I learnt.

Dennis Ahlibi

Operations Chief, Kupenda Expeditions
Open Water activities in a country where almost 99% of people can't swim requires a deep understanding of people's fears in order to get them to trust a Kayaking Marshall, and that is the key skill I learnt training with the OAG

Derick Danquah

Kayaking Marshall, The Trident
I've had the pleasure of working with some of OAG's corporate members and could not help but admire their keen attention to adventure safety details and the natural environment within which they operate. This is why we have no fears letting them run adventures in some of our national parks.
