For independent guides
Your work is personal. Your tips should be too.
Levo helps safari guides, city guides, drivers and hosts get discovered by guests and receive cash-free tips directly — with transparent fees, secure settlement, and a verified profile that travels with your reputation.
For guests
How guests tip you
A cash-free thank-you that feels as personal as a handshake.
Step 1
Scan your link
Guests scan a QR code or open your personal pay-link — no app download at launch, no signup. A Levo app is coming soon.
Step 2
See who they are thanking
Your verified profile shows your role, accreditation and the lodges you are linked to.
Step 3
Tip in any currency
They tip in dollars, pounds or euros. You receive rand, with exchange handled behind the scenes.
Step 4
You keep 97%
Levo takes a flat 3% platform fee. The rest reaches your bank account via licensed, secure settlement.
