The Early Days


IN THE BEGINNING

In 1977 at the age of 24, Eddie Frank started building a unique adventure company - Tusker Trail. Since then Tusker has evolved as one of the most innovative and reliable outfits around.

TUSKER IS BORN

A 24-year old Eddie led a pioneering expedition across the African continent. What followed comes from the dreams of every small boy's adventure fantasies. From the ages of 25-28 Eddie embarked on a 4-wheel drive education in the Sahara Desert, which he claims, earned him the right to call himself a "Roads Scholar". During these early years Eddie racked up a mind-blowing 34 crossings of the Sahara, and became the envy of his city-bound friends.
Since those tough early days, Eddie has made a name for himself as one of the top guides in the Africa guiding world, and to date has logged an incredible 41 climbs of Mount Kilimanjaro. Eddie's three decades of adventure in Africa guarantees that you will return home transformed, revitalized, and ready for more.
