Safari Tip Rates
Although Kilimanjaro Bliss and other ethical companies pay their guides, cooks and porters at recommended rates, they depend on tips from clients to make up the differences for when they cannot work because of the seasonal nature of tourism. We strongly recommend that you factor in the following tip rates for those people making it possible for you to enjoy your visit in Tanzania. These Rates are only a basic guideline, however, feel free to tip more if you feel that the service you have received warrants it.
Driver / Guide Rate per Day per Group
| Assistant Guide (if applicable) Rate per Day per Group
| Cook (if on budget safari/mountain trek) Rate per Day per Group
| Porters (if on mountain trek) Rate per Day per Group for each porter
| Hotel Staff May be tipped small denominations, but is not expected
|
| $15 – $30 | $10 – $20 | $10 – $15 | $5 – $7 | $1 |
Example: For a 7 Day Safari (2 person group)
1 Lead Guide, $150 – $170
1 Cook, $90 – $100
2 Total Staff, $240 – $270 Total (Average of $120 – $135 per person in the group)

Kilimanjaro Tip Rates

Tipping on Kilimanjaro and Meru
A mountain group can be quite large. The support staff are made up according to the following requirements.
- Porters – 3 per person, plus 2
- Lead guide – 1 per group
- Assistant guide – 1 per 2-3 climbers
- Cook – 1 per group
A 2-person climb will have staff of 9 people, a 3-person climb will have staff of 12 people, a 4-person climb will have staff of 16 people, etc.
We encourage you to meet your crew at the mountain gate when they are having their loads weighed to ensure you have the number of crew promised by the company. You can write a list with each crew person’s name and talk to them along the way. At the end of the climb when you give your tips to the lead guide, you can thank porters personally.
It is ideal to have a tipping ceremony during the last meal on the mountain or at the descent gate. Some companies collect the tips for themselves, or guides keep the tips without passing them on to the porters and cooks. Kilimanjaro Bliss works to ensure that all staff get their proper tips. Tips can be placed in individual envelopes. Give your tips to the lead guide at the ceremony. The lead guide will distribute the tips right then, in an open and transparent way.
8 Day Route (per 4-person group)
1 Lead Guide, $150 – $170
2 Assistant Guides, each $90 – $100
1 Cooks, each $90 – $100
1 Waiter/Porter, $45 – $55
1 Toilet Porter, $45 – $55
12 Porters, each $45 – $55
18 Total Staff, $1,050 – $1,220 (Average of $260 – $305 per climber)
