Is there a customary time during your Safari to tip your guide? We will have the same guide for 10 days. I have read that both tipping at the end of the trip and each day are acceptable. Those of you who have a lot of experience in Tanzania, is there a preferable time to tip your guide?

Customary Time to Tip
Consider tipping your Tanzanian Safari guide daily for consistent appreciation, especially over a long 10-day trip. While tipping at the end is acceptable, many prefer daily recognition of their effort. Ask your lodge for their specific advice on the customary amount.
