Because the PH, Hunting staff and the Chefs and their staff are all part of the service industry, gratuities are not mandatory but always appreciated. Please have some Cash (US$) with you for the gratuities. In order to ensure fairness, you will be handed envelopes. Please hand these envelopes in at the Host/Hostess personally. Do not ask anyone to share & decide on the gratuities. The gratuities should reflect your personal gratitude towards the individual staff members.
