THE AWKWARD PART: HOW TO TIP?
Most restaurants and lodges have a tip box installed in their lobby where you can drop your tip. However giving the tip in-hand to the staff is a better choice. The tipping is done in Tanzanian Shillings. Another Tanzania Tipping Guide is that - It's better to tip at the end of the day instead of each activity.
WONDERING HOW MUCH TO TIP?
We are most often asked - How Much Do You Tip in Tanzania? There is no set amount on how much to tip a guide or a staff on your Tanzania Safari Tours . However you can follow a standard price of tipping to different staff as mentioned below:
- US$15-20 per guest per day for a private guide
- US$5-10 per guest per day for a safari chef
- US$8-10 per guest per day for a group guide.
- US$1-2 per guest per day for the general staff.
- US$3-5 per city transfer
WHAT IF I DON’T WANT TO TIP?
It's completely up to the traveller if they wish to tip the staff. It's not compulsory to tip anyone. Tanzania Safari Tipping is a generous gesture. If you were not happy with the services then you can skip tipping them. Moreover if you wish to buy them a meal or give them a treat it is even wonderful!
