Has anyone ever giving gifts for the trackers and skinners if so what were those gifts.

Knives... candy and soccer balls for their kids.....

Don't replace tips with gifts... Cash is always king

Lots of discussion on this. Take cash or spare items you have and don’t use. Unfortunately if you spend money on gifts most will be sold for a fraction of what you spent. Trackers only need so many Leatherman’s.

Going on my first Safari in 12 days. Do you normally take a small gift for PH and tracker? If so what are so ideas?

I’ve given them clothing & cigarettes, and of course tips too.

I take things like hard candies, cheap $3 Walmart headlamps, etc that allow me to make kind gestures and show appreciation while on the hunt…

But those in no way replace tips… they’re just a little something “extra” to share when appropriate…

On our trip, a few guys left their shoes or boots for the trackers.

US Army surplus OD green fleece jackets. The trackers love them

Beanies, jackets, even phone chargers that fit all make decent gifts. You could also check with your outfitter beforehand to see what is hard to get there. As said before, don't replace cash with a gift.

Clothing, hats, boots, are things they will use and appreciate.

This is the best gift you can give them.
