Tipping Etiquette in Botswana

Tipping in Botswana is appreciated for good service but is usually modest rather than expected, and many restaurants simply round up the bill or leave about 5–10% if a service charge has not already been added. In hotels, safari lodges, and guided tours, small cash tips are more common because staff often rely on them, while in everyday shops, taxis, and casual eateries no tip is normally required.
