Although it is entirely up to you, it is common in Africa to tip safari guides. Many individuals seek for tipping rules because it is a sensitive and complex matter. This is our recommendation.

• Transfer drivers: USD 10 – 20 per transfer
• Lodge guides: USD 10 – 20 per couple per day
• Trackers: USD 5 – 10 per couple per day
• Driver and tracker: USD 20 – 30 per couple per day (give the tip to the driver who will then split it)
• Lodge staff: Guests are asked to use the staff tipping box, which is shared amongst all lodge employees. About USD 10 per person daily is customary. You may also tip specific staff via the camp manager.
• Butlers (if applicable): USD 5 – 15 per day
