Bush Routes Adventures Tipping Policy.
The tip system used by Bush Routes Adventures is an essential part
of the porters, cooks, drivers and guides income. They work very
hard to provide the best possible services but at the same time they
expect good tips in return. Our recommended tips are quite high by
Tanzanian standards and there is no need for them to be exceeded,
however if services were not adequate a full tip need not be paid
and in this event please inform us at the arranged Hotel reception
of any problems that arose on your trip.
In order for tips to be given out fairly and to avoid possible
misunderstandings we would request that tips are given on your
return to the At Arranged Hotel Hotel. 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.
