Tipping On Kilimanjaro always seems to be a bit of a mysterious. The more you research, the more confusing it seems to get, so we’re going to try and make it a bit clearer with this Kilimanjaro Tipping Guide. Tipping is not compulsory but a tradition on Mount Kilimanjaro Climbing.
We recommend giving a tip of between US $ 200 to US $ 300 per climber to the mountain crew at the end of the climb. The average recommended tip per group per day:
Guides – US $ 20 per every guide from the group
Cook – US $ 15 per cook per day from the group.
Porters – US $10 per porter per day from the group.
So Tipping On Kilimanjaro is an essential and customary way of paying your mountain crew. It recognises their hard work in helping for Kilimanjaro Climbing. It is considered a universal custom on Kilimanjaro.
