Tipping guidelines:
It is a common courtesy to tip your driver, guide, and porter when on safari. The following list is a guide - as always you should tip based on your satisfaction with service. All amounts per person, per day (per event):
- Trip Valet: US$5 per day
- Individual driver/guide: US$5-10 per day
- Porters/waiters: US$1-2.
Mount Climbing rates: When climbing Mount Kenya and Kilimanjaro there is at least one senior guide, a cook/junior guide, and an average of two porters per client. In a group of 8 it will be typical to have one senior guide, one cook, and 16 porters. Therefore, on a six-day ascent expect to pay $90 in tips per person - or more if you feel a particular person went above and beyond the call of duty. All amounts shared by group, per day:
- Senior guide: US$20-30 per day
- Junior guide/Cook: US$10 per day
- Porter: US$5 per day.
Other important points:
- Please be punctual for all departures, game drive and schedules so as to make maximum use of your holiday time.
- Departure transfers for international flights are usually two and half-hours prior to flight times.
- Day rooms are reserved till 6.00 pm.
