Most of the employees in tourism do not live from their salary but from your tipping. Chambermaids, waiters and local guides honor a “satisfaction gratuity”. Everyone who does something in addition to normal service for your wellbeing, expects a small tip.
In return you receive a lot of service in East Africa.
In addition we recommend to tip your driver guide with 10 USD per day and person.
Of course the amount of tip is completely at your free choice.
