About us

Great service deserves a proper thank you

SafariTip makes it easy for guests to thank the people who made their trip, in whatever currency they carry, while making sure every cent of every tip reaches the team who earned it.

Why SafariTip exists

Anyone who has spent time at a safari lodge knows how much of the experience comes down to people, from the guide who finds the leopard to the chef who somehow pulls off a three-course dinner in the middle of the bush. Guests want to say thank you, but international travellers rarely carry local cash anymore, and card tips have a habit of disappearing into revenue, getting taxed as business income, and reaching staff months later (if they reach them in full at all).

We built SafariTip to take that friction out of the picture. Guests scan a QR code, choose who to thank, and pay by card or phone in a few seconds, while tips are settled to the business every week, kept completely separate from revenue, and broken down so everyone can see exactly who received what.

Safari tourism also depends on wild places worth protecting, which is why we made it just as easy for guests to support conservation causes alongside their tips.

What we stand for

The full tip, every time

Guests cover a small service fee at checkout, so 100% of every tip reaches the team it was meant for.

Nothing hidden

Every tip is accounted for, with a per-staff breakdown that owners, managers, and staff can all trust.

Made for African hospitality

Designed around lodges, camps, operators, and the international guests who visit them, rather than borrowed from a restaurant till.

Simple on purpose

No app for guests, no hardware for you, and a setup that takes minutes rather than weeks.

Meet the founders

The two people behind SafariTip

Sarah Morris

Sarah Morris

Co-founder & Chief Commercial Officer

Sarah comes to SafariTip from the world of luxury adventure travel, where she has designed journeys across Africa for international travellers and worked hand in hand with the lodges, camps, guides, and partners who bring those journeys to life. It's a side of the industry that runs on relationships and on sweating the details, from the first conversation with a client to checking in on them while they're out in the bush, and it has given her a first-hand view of how much of a great safari comes down to the people on the ground.

As Chief Commercial Officer she leads SafariTip's relationships with lodges, tour operators, and partners across the continent she's proud to call home, bringing the same love of adventure, exploration, and discovery to growing SafariTip that she brings to everything else. She also takes our demo calls, so if you book one there's a good chance Sarah will be the one walking you through it.

Fabio Longano

Co-founder and Chief Product and Technology Officer

Fabio's background is in digital strategy, product, and technology, helping businesses work out what to build and then designing and delivering the websites, platforms, and CRM systems to match. That mix of strategy and hands-on delivery is what building SafariTip calls for, since a tipping platform has to feel effortless to a guest while quietly handling payments, currencies, and settlements in the background.

As Chief Product and Technology Officer he leads everything we build, from a guest's first scan of a QR code to the dashboards, settlements, and Staff app that lodges and their teams rely on, and his focus is keeping it simple on the surface and solid underneath (so tipping takes guests seconds, and every tip lands exactly where it should).
