Tipping on a Safari & Beach Break

Tipping on safariPic: Sasaab Lodge

Tipping Guidelines

Although tipping is a safari tradition, it is never compulsory and should only be done if you feel that you have received good service. We recommend the following amounts:

  • Safari Guides & Spotters: $15 - $20 per guest per day, usually provided directly to the individual
  • Guest Representatives & Transfer Drivers: $10 - $15 per guest per day, usually provided directly
  • to the individual Lodge/ Camp Staff: $10 - $15 per guest per day, usually placed in the tip box to be divided
    among all the lodge/ camp staff
  • Restaurants: 10% of the bill is customary
Most lodges are unable to provide cash and do not accept credit cards for tipping, so please ensure you carry enough to cover your planned tipping.
