Tipping in Namibia
Customary: 10%. 10% is normal. Rand is accepted alongside the dollar.
At restaurants

Worked example
On a NAD500.00 bill, 10% is NAD50.00, so you would hand over NAD550.00.

On a “free” walking tour, the tip is the fare: about NAD200.00 per person.
On a paid tour, 10% of the price on top.
Expected. Guides and trackers are tipped by the day, at the end of the trip.
