Am doing one of the 3 night trails soon and was wondering what the tipping etiquette is for guides and camp staff. Thanks for any input you can give.

one of the tips that can be given is "do not smoke" :twisted:

My opinion is that the (exhorbitant?) R3900 tarrif is sufficient to include a tip .

I think it s a pretty individual thing, if you feel you received great service and would like to give the guides a tip, then do so.

More on Tipping in general here.

I think what is meant is a wilderness trail which takes place over 3 nights :)
