Gratuities Guideline:

• Gratuities are not included in the rate and the staff at Madikwe would like you to know that they do not expect individual tips.
• However, guests who would like to show their appreciation can do so by contributing to a staff gratuity fund, which is distributed once a month. Gratuities may be offered at the end of your stay and placed in the envelopes provided at reception.
• This is however entirely at your own discretion. A guideline for gratuities is available at the lodge.
