We invite you to contact
us by email to know the price of our programs: pakashumeinfo@yahoo.com
A 30% deposit is required
at the time of booking. For the time being, we do
not accept any credit cards. All payments must be
made by wire transfer to our bank account in Arusha,
Tanzania. As soon as we've receive your deposit,
we'll
start making all the necessary reservations for your
special trip. Complete payment must be received
no
later than 60 days before departure, taking into
consideration that some wire transfers can take
up to 15 days to
arrive
in Tanzania.
Tipping
Although we pay our staff well, above
other safari companies, guides, assistant guides,
cooks, drivers
and porters do rely on their tips to make up for
the fact that there are two low seasons (rain seasons)
during the year. Tips are not included in your package
price and are left to your discretion. We recommend
you bring US$350 for tips, depending on the duration
of your stay (in new bills, including many US$1 bills
for porters in hotels, maids, waiters, etc.). If
you wish to do so, you can give the tips to the Paka
Shume Trekkings personnel (myself or my husband,
Christopher Maasa, and no one else) for distribution.
On the mountain or in safari, never give to Peter
the tip that belongs to Paul. Also, tips must be
handed out on the last day of the climb or safari.
We provide the following tipping guidelines, but
feel free to give more if you judge that the quality
of service warrants it.
guide: US$10 per day
driver: US$10 per day
cook: US$10 per day
mountain guide: US$15 per day
assistant mountain guide:
US$10 per day
porters: US$6 per day (US$7 per day in the case
of the porters who carry your personal luggage
up the
mountain)
