GRATUITIES 

Tipping is not obligatory or expected, but is always enthusiastically received if you are happy with the service. Amounts are at your discretion and vary at different camps and in different countries. We recommend the following:

Safari Camps
US$5.00 per guest per day. Most camps have a central kitty system for guides, kitchen and cleaning staff. If in any doubt please ask the camp manager.

Mokoro polers
BWP10.00 per poler day. We have excellent polers who are great capitalists and have found that clients get outstanding results if they get rewarded for their hard work directly.

Private Guides
US$150.00 to US$450.00 for a weeks safari, split between the party, although some clients feel it is inappropriate to tip an owner / operator and only tip the camp staff.

Restaurants
Tips are not generally included and about 10 - 15% is appropriate.

Blue Train and Rovos Rail
Cabin attendants R50.00 per person per journey, dining car waiter R50.00 per person per journey.
