On Safari and Kilimanjaro Tipping is customary in Tanzania and is very much a part of the incomes of many people in the hospitality and tourism industry.
Below here is our Safari and Kilimanjaro Tipping policy:
A general rule of thumb, tipping for satisfactory service should be as follows:
Safari Staff
Driver/Guide: US $15 - US $20 per day per guide
Chef: US $15 - US $20 per day per chef (adventure camping safari only)
Our safari staff should be tipped equally.
Mountain Staff
Head Guide: US$15 - US$20 per day per guide
Assistant Guide: US$10 - US$15 per day per guide
Cook: US$10 - US$15 per day per cook
Porter: US$5 - US$10 per day per porter
Tip amounts listed for safari and Kilimanjaro are per group, not per individual traveler. For instance, if four people are on safari, they should each contribute $5 if they want to tip their driver-guide 20 USD per day.
