Money back warranty

Our crew is very well paid. We were even told, that our tour-company pays its tour staff the highest wages around Kilimanjaro: Porter 13 $, cook 18$, assistant guide 25$ and Guide 35$ per day. Normally already the daily wage of 8000 TSH (6.50 USD) for a porter is regarded as pleasing and a guide works for around 12000 TSH (10 USD). All tour-companies expect and calculate with almost the same height of tip for the crew. That way, every tourist pays an average of 150 USD as a tip on the whole trip. From the very beginning we broke with this kind of conduct and am not asking for a tip nor things or other support. On the other hand we don't want that the service suffers, because the crew knows that they get their salary in any case.

* That is why we pay achievement-dependently. If you are satisfied with our service, our people will get the achievement-dependent portion of 30% of their total payment, otherwise YOU will get that portion back. Since February 2007 our questionnaire is used – so far all groups were content and the warranty was not required to come into action.
