Greetings from Walla Walla, Washington

[Walla Walla Wino]

Hi all, I am heading to South Africa in less then 2 weeks. I still am a little confused about the tipping issue. I found some articles on it, but they were from 14 years ago, pre-Covid. If anyone can point me to updated information on tipping that would be great! Thanks!

Greetings from Utah. Welcome to the site, a great place to bone up on information before your trip. Tipping is a personal choice. Only thing I would add is to take some gifts for favorite ph or tracker or cook BUT cash is king. Keep track of the conversion from/to USD

Welcome!!
I lived in Walla Walla from 1996-2012...and my oldest son still lives there.
There is a lot of good info here regarding tipping.
I went to SA last June and we tipped based off of our experience and what we were comfortable with for each person involved in our hunt. We had a great time and I will be returning in 2024 and also in 2025.

Welcome! Unfortunately, I'm stuck on the west side of the state...Wish you a great journey and look forward to reading/ seeing your trip report. As for tipping, I still pretty much budgeted based on the dialog in the past posts. Those recommendations still seemed in line with the more experienced folks I have heard speak on the matter.

Welcome from a Washington mossback, the wet side.

We once hunted a property in that area so my son could have a crack at an oryx, got a nice one there.

Hannes Swanepoel indeed is a very good chap, as mentioned by Mekaniks already.
I predict that you will have a great time there with him and his crew.
