Getting ready for your trek is a key part of the thrill. This is when you call up the other expedition members, and start counting the days. It's when you sit down in front of your map with a hot mug of coffee or a beer, and trace your upcoming adventure.
When you sign up on a Tusker Expedition, you'll be in the expert hands of our Lake Tahoe staff, all of whom have a detailed knowledge of our trips and are eager to walk you through your pre-trip plans.

Vehicles
In order to get to our remote areas, we use rugged four-wheel-drive  Landcruisers. They are absolutely essential on our rugged treks. We have custom-designed these tough vehicles expressly for the demands of the African bush. Each vehicle is fitted with wide roof hatches, for all-round viewing. Our trucks are comfortable and extremely reliable.
Gear & Accommodation
We use top-of-the-line gear. You'll sleep on comfortable cots and mattresses in our custom-designed "sky tents". We have designed these tents specifically for the Trekking Safari, so that you have a clear view of the African sky from your bed. Accommodations are based on double occupancy, so if you're traveling alone,  we'll match you up with a roommate. All bedding is provided.
We also have a complete bush-kitchen, staffed with expert cooks. We eat our meals in a mess tent, not far from the campfire. On our treks you'll also be able to take a shower almost every day.
You will spend the first and last days at the Rivertrees lodge, outside of Arusha.
