Tipping Policy at Bush Routes Adventures.
You will be given an envelope at your
Hotel after your trek for your tip money or even this one can be
done direct with clients and our climbing cruse. 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 Bush Routes Adventures at your Hotel immediately, and don’t
feel obligated to give a tip. If they press you for a tip during
your trek, inform Bush Routes Adventures as well, as this is against
company policy. Do not pay tips on the mountain nor should you pay
for any extra services while you are on the mountain other than for
the purpose of refreshments (only regularly available on the Marangu
Route). It is also worth bearing in mind that items of clothing and
footwear, for children or adults, used or new, are also highly
valued and can be given as well as money tips.
Also you are also welcome to invite your guides back to your Hotel
for drinks and/or dinner (on you) as a thank you in addition to
their tip.
You can use US dollars, Euros, TZ Shillings or a combination of
these.

different information, please tip according to the agent's
information.
* To avoid confusion, on the first day of your climb, please confirm
with your guide the correct total number of staff that you or your
group have. Don't pay tips to any other persons.
* When you do the tipping at your Hotel, please make sure the guide
is accompanied by at least one other member of your crew to allow
total transparency
