Typically, it’s a good idea for the group to gather before the trek concludes to discuss and agree on the tipping amounts for each staff member, reflecting their individual contributions to your experience. After your trek, you will receive an envelope at the Sal salinero Hotel to collect your tip contributions.
Tips should be based on the professionalism of your guides and porters, as well as their commitment to ensuring your well-being, rather than the outcome of your summit attempt on Mount Kilimanjaro or Mount Meru. Should you feel that your expectations were not met, please report your concerns to Tanzania Wildlife Adventures at the Eastpoint Hotel right away; in such cases, you should not feel obligated to give a tip. If you are pressured for tips during your trek, please notify the management of Tanzania Wildlife Adventures, as this practice goes against company policy.
It’s important to remember that tipping on the mountain is not permitted, nor should you pay for any additional services other than optional refreshments (which are only available on the Marangu Route). Additionally, used or new clothing and footwear for adults and children are also greatly appreciated gifts and can be given in lieu of or along with cash tips. You are also welcome to invite your guides to the Eastpoint Hotel for drinks or dinner as a gesture of gratitude, at your expense, along with their tips. Tips can be given in US dollars, Euros, Tanzanian Shillings, or a combination of these currencies.
