Tipping in Senegal
Customary: 10%. Not expected. Round up, or 10% at sit-down restaurants.
At restaurants
What is customary: Not expected — welcome, but nobody is counting
Worked example
On a XOF20,000 bill, 10% is XOF2,000, so you would hand over XOF22,000.
Tour guides
On a “free” walking tour, the tip is the fare: about XOF2,500 per person.
On a paid tour, 10% of the price on top.
Expected on guided tours. Small notes, handed over at the end.
The money
Senegal uses the West African CFA Franc (XOF). Today 1 GBP is 765.17 XOF.
