Tipping guidelines for the crew on Mount Kilimanjaro can vary depending on several factors, including the duration of the trek, the size of the crew, and the level of service provided. Tipping is a gesture of appreciation for exceptional service, and it’s entirely at your discretion. As for our crew, see the recommendations below, but ultimately, it’s about recognizing the effort and dedication of our team.

Guide: The head guide typically receives the largest tip, as they play a crucial role in leading the expedition, ensuring safety, and making strategic decisions. A common guideline is to tip the head guide between $15 to $20 per day per climber.

Assistant Guides: Assistant guides assist the head guide and provide support to climbers. They may help with navigation, setting up camp, and offering encouragement. Tipping assistant guides around $10 to $15 per day per climber is customary.

Cooks: Cooks prepare meals and ensure climbers are well-fed and energized throughout the trek. Tipping cooks around $8 to $10 per day per climber is a common practice.

Porters: Porters carry equipment, supplies, and personal belongings for climbers. They often work incredibly hard and are essential to the success of the expedition. Tipping porters around $5 to $8 per day per climber is standard.
