YOUR SAFETY


OUR FIRST CONCERN

Your safety is our paramount concern on your Kilimanjaro trek. You leave home with the comfort of knowing that during your trek all you have to worry about is putting one foot in front of the other. We take care of the rest.

Twice a day while on Kilimanjaro - in the morning before you start your trek, and in the evening - our guides perform a thorough health check, using their specialized High Altitude Medical Training in conjunction with pulse-oximeters. Regular medical checks help keep your Tusker guide informed about your condition, so that he can make informed decisions about your climb.

Kilimanjaro is an austere environment where accidents and death do occur.  While no one can guarantee your safety, a well-trained guide can save your life in the event of a high altitude emergency.

In the event you need to be evacuated, you will climb knowing that your guides have received the most comprehensive private training of any company on Mount Kilimanjaro.

"Tusker Trail's guides are the most professional team I've trained since the US Navy Seals"
