You may tip as much as you want -- the more the better! However, a rule of thumb is between $5 and $10 per day for lodge staff, among whom tips are divided equally. 

    The driver who brings you from the International Airport is an independent contractor and does not share on the tips left for the staff. You may tip him directly -- US $5 will be considered a good tip.

    Likewise, our bird guides are tipped individually. How much? I don't know, it depends entirely on you. Obviously if they show you 75 "lifers" in week or find you THE bird for which you have been looking for several years, you'd be inclined to be generous. It is your decision. I will say that by recognizing their dedication, enthusiasm and knowledge we can encourage bird guides to be real professionals.
