Tipping

Tips for guides and porters on Kilimanjaro and Mount Meru:

Safari Tips for your guide and cook:

  • $15-20/day for driver/guide and $10/day for cook (basic camping) for the whole safari group.

Expectations

  • Tips should not be dependent on whether you summit or not, but rather whether they were professional and had your best interests in mind.
  • If your guides and porters have not met your expectations, please inform Zara at the Springlands Hotel immediately, and don’t feel obligated to give a tip. If they press you for a tip during your trek, inform Zara as well, as this is against company policy.

Payment

  • A 20% non-refundable deposit is due at time of reservation
  • Final payment is due 60 days prior to arrival
  • We accept Visa, Mastercard, and American Express. You can also wire transfer your money directly to Moshi or mail a personal check.
  • Please review our Cancellation Policy
  • For cash payments at our offices and hotels in Tanzania, please note that we don't accept US$ bills which have been issued before 2003 as they are generally not accepted in Tanzania.
