In country travels
During your time traveling together your guide is at you beck and call 24 hours a day. However, due to the increase in road accidents after dark, we generally do not drive outside of urban areas after sunset, which occurs at 6:00 PM every night here on the equator.
Because your adventure never stops, your guide is always on call. Let your guide know of anything you need. Do not hesitate to be direct, but always be polite. you guide is so attentive, you may need to inform your guide when you wish time alone.
Notify the issuers of any debit or credit card that you plan to use it in Ghana/Nigeri or Liberia. If they are not aware that you have travelled, their fraud detection software will decline any requests for money from within your country of visit.

In regards to guide tipping, as in all other areas of the hospitality industry, tips are a major part of service employees’ income. Tips are performance-based and should be provided in exchange for excellent service. Somewhere in the range of $10-$20 per day will make them happy, or for groups, a minimum of $3 per person per day. These tips should be collected by someone on behalf of your group at the end and given to the guide, who will share them with any other tour staff. If meals are included in your tour, then tips to your servers are also included. Of course, if anyone is exceptional or goes beyond expectations to make an favorable impression, it is acceptable for you to provide an additional tip or gift or some sort.
