There is no really set percentage that I'm aware of. It's all up to the financial ability of each individual and how they feel the guide did to provide a good hunt. I read one guide say that he really respected one of his clients that had scrimped for a long time to pay for a hunt he was on and couldn't give much of a tip. However, the guide said he received a gracious letter from the guy thanking him for the hunt and about how much that hunt meant to him. He said it warmed his heart and put a tear in his eye because the letter was much more than any money he received from clients that had plenty of money to spend.
