Tipping
Tips for guides and porters on Mt. Kenya:
- You will want to hand out tips at camp the morning of the last day of the trek. You can use U.S. dollars, Euros, TZ shillings, or a combination of these. It helps if you have small bills to tip everyone individually.
- The typical tip is $20/day for guides, $15/day for assistant guides and cooks, $10/porter/day for porters. This is from the whole group, not per hiker.
- Expect 1 guide per 2 hikers, 1 assistant guide per 3 hikers, 1 cook per 8 hikers, and 2 porters per hiker.
- Budget $200-250 per hiker for tips.
- Gifts: Guides and porters also appreciate your warm clothing, shoes, and packs. You may want to bring some older clothing items just for this purpose.
- Celebration: You are also welcome to invite your guides back to your hotel for dinner (on you) as a thank-you in addition to their tip.
Safari Tips for guide and cook:
- $25/day for driver/guide and $15/day for cook (basic camping) for the whole safari group.
Expectations
- Tips should not be dependent on whether you summit or not, but rather whether they were professional and had your best interests in mind.
Payment
- 20% non-refundable deposit due at time of reservation
- Final payment due 60 days prior to arrival
- We accept Visa, Mastercard, American Express, and Discover. You can also wire transfer the money or mail a personal check.
