  • Tipping at restaurants is 10%. Due to the long history of segregation, you may notice the tensions between Afrikaans and Africans. In an effort to move forward, extend kindness and respect to All peoples equally. When taking photos, it is polite to ask the persons BEFORE taking the photo. We are visiting a wonderful country with great people. Please, remember that we are not gawking at zoo animals, a mistake I have seen many tourists make! Don't take photos of governmental buildings, as it is illegal.

    Tipping: Tipping of 10% at restaurants...

  • Tipping of 10% at restaurants is common practice. You may notice that due to the long history of segregation, many Afrikaans do not extend the same respect to the Africans. It will take time for the rifts in culture to settle, and so in the efforts to move forward, get to know the Africans and show your respect and kindness to all equally. Please, before taking pictures of villagers or any person, ask first. They are not zoo animals and it is impolite to act like a gawking tourist at a zoo. Also, remember that it is illegal to take pictures or video of any governmental buildings.
