Hello, I'm hoping some of the more experienced hunters here can help with advice on tipping in South Africa. Here is my trip overview.

5 hunters in South Africa
7 day hunt.
Probably 2 PHs, possibly a 3rd
Tented camp with staff

My question is what is are reasonable/good tip for a full week for each hunter to expect to pay for the PH and then for any support staff in camp (cook, trackers, housekeeping etc)? I'm assuming the service and experience are all good.

Thank you all very much.

There is a monster thread on this on here about this subect....try looking for it
 
Go to second area of forum under Safari Planning. Our founder Jerome has done an excellent job answering this
 
Yes there's a lengthy tipping guide on here, definitely answer any and all questions. Good luck, I'm sure you'll have a blast.
 
Read every page of this and then ask your question. :unsure:

 
Thank you to everyone who responded. I read Jerome's article and many of the follow up comments.

Much appreciated.

Hi Jay,

Hope you're well.

I'm headed your way in January.

Attending SHOT Show has been a long time bucket list item for me.

Finally made it happen and I'm headed to Vegas.

I know you're some distance from Vegas - but would be keen to catch up if it works out.

Have a good one.

Mark
