Tipping Guide

Hi all, the OP was a great read! That said, it's from 2008. Is there an updated tip guide? I read the most recent couple pages though it tends to cover various aspects.
This is my hunt partner and my first African hunt. We live/hunt Montana DIY. Not really familiar with tipping outfitted adventures.

I've been told a rough overall guide is the following: 10% avg-good and 15% for good-great for the complete experience paid at the end. The owner/head operator has a % the tip is divided, based on each person's responsibility.

This a fair practice or?
Where are you going hunting? A ranch hunt in South Africa or Namibia is very different than a concession hunt in Zimbabwe. A ranch hunt is generally +/- $100 a day to PH, maybe $10-15 a day each to tracker and skinner, $20 a day to cook, $5-10 a day to housekeeping. A hunt in concession area is usually +/- $150 day to PH and generally the same amount divided amongst the much larger staff. I generally don’t base tips on a percentage of the hunt unless maybe it was a very low cost package hunt. Tips get adjusted up or down based on the trip and work put in.
