Tipping is one of those things that seems to cause some travellers a lot of concerns, wondering how the "rules" in their own country should be applied in another. South Africa is no different.

ree

Our rule is it's up to you, particularly if you have had exceptional service! But here is some general guidance.

Guided Safari

R150-250 per guide  

Safari Tracker

R100-200 per tracker


Service Station Attendants

R5-20 depending on how many extras they do (if paying by card the total will often be just under a round hundred figure!)


Tour drivers/Guides

R100-200 per person


Parking Attendants/Car Guards

R2-5 for a short stop

R5-10 for longer periods

They should be actively watching, not just lurking, and will normally have a fluorescent tabard


Restaurants

10-15%


Hotel Porters

R 10-20 per bag


Housekeepers

R 50-100 per day


Spa Therapists

10–15%
