Tipping On Kilimanjaro

How Much Should You Tip On Kilimanjaro? This is another popular question we often get asked by our guests. While you pay a handsome amount to climb the highest mountain of Africa, Kilele Climb would like to share something important about the Kilimanjaro Tipping Guide.

Recommended Tipping On Kilimanjaro climbs are the same no matter what Kilimanjaro Routes you choose to do. You should tip $20-$25 per day for the lead guide; $10-$15 per day for the assistant guide; $10-$15 for the chef; and $5-$10 for each porter.

If you had to climb the mountain, with the luggage all on your back alone you would be exhausted and give up on the first day. The Kilimanjaro Porters carry most of your luggage including the tents, cooking pots, and most of your personal stuff. The Kilimanjaro Guides are always there to keep up your spirits and make sure you reach the peak no matter your age. All these efforts are humbly noticed by our guests and appreciated as tips to the guide. 

While Kilele Climb fairly compensates its team, the porters and guides have expectations and have always seen their efforts paid off with your kindness.
