Tipping is commonplace across Africa and it's a good idea to keep a supply of small bills with you (either in US Dollars or the local currency).
Tipping is not included in the cost of your trip and below are suggested tipping amounts, but you may decide to tip less or more, depending on the level of service you receive. Likewise, a lodge may advise of their own suggested tipping amount locally, which may differ slightly from our own recommendation. Tipping is usually preferred in cash and always done at the end of a stay at each camp, not during.
