Tipping on Safari: What You Should Know
Should you tip on safari? If so, who do you tip and how much? In today’s safari insights video I’ll be answering some common tipping questions, and sharing some tipping guidelines I like to follow to help you prepare for your next safari trip.
Whether it's the knowledgeable guide or the dedicated porter carrying your gear, I'll provide suggestions on how much gratuity is typically customary. Remember, tipping is never mandatory but is a wonderful way to support those who make your safari experience unforgettable.
In this video, you'll learn about tipping:
-Safari Guides
-Hospitality Staff
-Porters and Trekking Guides
-Community Members on Cultural Experiences
-Other Situations Where Tipping is Appreciated
Gain a better sense of how much is adequate so you can plan your cash and never feel confused or awkward. Let's ensure your safari is smooth, enjoyable, and respectful to those who make it possible.

    Sir I'm 280lbs and out of shape and doing the same ride to Logans Pass. I know the E-Bikes help a lot but do you think it's a big enough help for heavy out of shape guys like me? I get winded very easy but can push through if its not too much. Do you think I can make it with an E-Bike based on how I described myself? Also, how many wats were your E-Bike? Whats the ideal watts for that ride to Logans Pass?

    Thanks for the great video! Been binging yellowstone/ grand teton/ glacier national park videos for an upcoming vacation. This is the best Yellowstone one I have found. Love the inclusion of the obvious things to see like Old Faithful but also including things like the Yellowstone Hot Springs and Grizzly and Wolf Discovery Center that ive yet to see elsewhere. Ever done Grand Teton/Yellowstone/ Glacier National Park in one trip? Would love to see a video like that!

    Very helpful advice. Aside from the tour guide tip, I’ll definitely use the tip box. It’s interesting because while the workers expect the tip, not all people who come for a safari are loaded with money and just doing the Safari has taken a lot of saving so it can put the traveller in an uneasy situation.

    Thanks for this information! I'm still a confused on one point. I have my first three nights at Apgar Village and my last four nights at Swiftcurrent. I think I understand that a lodging reservation at Swiftcurrent means that I don't need a parking permit to drive the GTTR. But does my reservation at Apgar Village give me access to GNP? I was hoping to hike Avlanche Lake, Hidden Lake Overlook, and Trail of the Cedars while I'm on the east side. Do I need a parking permit to do this?

      @chrisrenemans5026 День тому

      You for sure want to reserve right away. There is practically no way for you to get a site on the same day. And progressively gets easier the later you reserve. 1 week in advance you might be able to find something, but wouldn’t be a good site. If you want to MAYBE find a good one, 1 month minimum

      It can take up to 90 minutes. The single-lane traffic can be slow-moving and the incline is steep, resulting in reduced traffic speed. There's also a few shuttle stops along the way, but not many.
