Tipping the crew seems to be expected, but nobody gives a straight figure. How much per climber, and how is it handed over at the end?
How much should I tip the guides, cooks and porters on Kilimanjaro?
Plan on roughly US$200 to US$350 per climber in tips for a whole Kilimanjaro climb (2026). The amount depends on the length of the route and the size of your group, because tips are worked out per crew member per day and paid by the group as a whole, not per climber.
The full answer, kept up to date: How much should I tip on Kilimanjaro? The guide chapter Tipping on Kilimanjaro has the per-person rates.
