Tipping

You are traveling on an independent itinerary and  the cost of your program does not include gratuities. Tipping is a very a personal matter and should only be considered when the staff have  gone above and beyond for you. Should  you  feel  you would like to acknowledge their service, the  below serves as a rough guide. The customary gratuity is about 10% of the cost of the service.  An amount equivalent to the below scales is in US dollars, per person per day.

Tipping a Driver for Transfer to Bwindi Impenetrable Forest

A tip of about US$10 per transfer is appropriate for your transfer drive

Tipping Porters

If you choose to take a porter (highly recommended), the minimum recommended tip is US$15 per traveler per track

Guides (usually 1 per group), trackers (usually 2-4 per group )

These staff earn salaries. A recommended tip of about US$20 per day of  tracking per traveller may be placed in the appropriate tip box for your gorilla group (found at the park headquarters)  for  distribution amongst the staff.
