Tipping & Gratuities 💸

From Restaurants to Guides — Guidelines for your Discretion

Tipping in South Africa is customary but not complicated — here’s a quick guide so you can come prepared with ZAR cash:

Restaurants. 10% is standard, 12–15% for excellent service. Most places accept cards — just tell them the final amount (e.g., bill R300 → “You can make it R330 please”) and they'll add it to your bill.
Hotel staff. R20–R50 per day, per room, for housekeeping or assistance.
Drivers & guides. R100–R150 per person, per day is appreciated, more for exceptional service.
Gas station attendants. Tip R5–R10 if they pump your gas, wash windows, or check oil/tyres.
