Answer: No, there is no expectation of a tip in Uganda.
If you would like to tip your guide, we suggest making the amount relative to the personal service you received and thanks you would like to give.
A good reference point for tips that we have used for travel around the world is this – How much would it cost for the person you would like to tip to buy a nice meal?
Here in Jinja a good meal from a higher end restaurant costs around 25,000 USH ($6.80 / £4.40)
Thank you!
