Tipping is a common practice in Tanzania, including on safari tours. While tipping is ultimately a personal decision, it is customary to tip your safari guide and other staff members who have provided you with excellent service. Here is a general tipping guide for Tanzania safaris:
Safari Guide: It is common to tip your safari guide between $10 to $20 per day, per person, depending on the level of service provided. If you are on a private safari, the tip amount may be higher.
Driver: If you have a dedicated driver who is not also your safari guide, it is customary to tip them between $5 to $10 per day, per person.
Lodge/Camp Staff: If you are staying at a lodge or camp, it is common to tip the staff who have provided you with service, such as waitstaff and housekeeping, between $5 to $10 per day, per person.
Porters: If you have porters who assist you with your luggage, it is customary to tip them between $1 to $2 per bag.
It's important to note that these are general guidelines, and the amount you choose to tip will ultimately depend on your level of satisfaction with the service provided. If you are unsure of the appropriate tipping amount, it is always best to ask your tour operator or guide for their recommendations
