SUPERB COMFORT & SAFETY ON THE TREK

Most people think that their trip begins when they head for the airport. Not so. As soon as you sign up, your dream becomes a reality. The time has come to buy that down jacket you've been wanting for a while, and to get that great pair of hiking boots. It's also time to spread the topo-map out on the table and trace the route of your journey. It's also bragging time.

Within a few days of joining your Tusker trek, you'll receive an in-depth packet of information. In this packet is a detailed manual which will prepare you for your trip. The reading material in the manual covers a wide range of topics including:
  • A Map
  • Food on the Trip
  • Gear You'll Need
  • Gear that Tusker Supplies
  • Weather
  • Photography
  • Arriving in Country
  • Life on Trek
  • Useful Words of the Local Language
  • Availability of Goods and Services
  • Flight Information
  • Health & Medical Information
  • Money & Currency
  • Tipping
  • Insurance
  • Recommended Reading
  • Required Forms
All this information will probably get you asking some more questions. Just Contact Us and our Trekking Coordinators will be happy to help out.
