Mount Kilimanjaro Tipping Guide
Mount Kilimanjaro’s tipping guide focuses on how you can distribute or manage tips for your supporting crew. After your climbing trip to Mount Kilimanjaro ends, your supporting team expects to be paid in tips. YES, it is very appreciated! When and how do you pay for your tips?
1: You can pay for tips after the last meal on the mountain
You may pay for it in the separate envelopes we provide before the tour begins. You may hand over the envelopes to the head guide, who will then help you distribute them to everyone.
2: You can pay tips at the hotel after the end of your trek
In case you don’t want to carry money on the mountain, you may leave it at the hotel/bank. Then you pay your supporting team at the hotel soon after descending
3: You can pay for your package together with tips
For those who wish to receive the invoice for the whole package. (include tips), If it is possible, don’t hesitate to tell us.
The following is the tipping amount per person per day, in USD.
- $25–30 per head guide, per day.
- $20-25$ assitant guides
- $20–25 per cook, per day.
- $10-$15 per porter per day.
NB: The tipping cost will be shared by the whole group, as the company, we appreciate your generosity. Bear in mind that the shared guidelines do not restrict any clients from contributing more. Read more about the Kilimanjaro climbing cost
