SUPERIOR GUIDES

Tusker Trail was the first company to establish a Definitive Medical Training Course for our Kilimanjaro guides, which each guide must complete each year.

Only with Tusker Trail's professionally trained guides can you safely immerse yourself in one of the most beautiful and strikingly diverse habitats on our planet. You trek to extreme altitude with the assurance that each one of your guides has undergone the most comprehensive high altitude medical training available.

HABITAT EXPERTS

In addition to our guides' expert medical
training, we also put them through al 5-day Flora & Fauna course focusing on Kilimanjaro's unique vegetation zones. This along with their medical training qualifies them as the finest guides on Mount Kilimanjaro.


   
 
UNCROWDED ROUTESTusker Routes


Trekking through the most beautiful and diverse habitat on our planet will leave you awestruck. Tusker's professional guides lead you up these rarely used routes, revealing the "hidden" mountain. Tusker Trail has set the standard for leadership on these rarely traveled routes.

BEST CLIMBER-TO-GUIDE RATIO

We use multiple, medically trained guides on all group climbs. Other companies use one guide regardless of the group size, and usually with no medical skills.

With our smaller groups our group ratio is 2 climbers to 1 guide. With larger groups our group ratio is 5 climbers to 1 guide. This is a lot safer and more enjoyable.
 
SUPERB GEAR

We spare no expense when it comes to our safety equipment and our camp gear. We use the highest quality 4-season mountaineering tents, custom manufactured to our own specs; comfortable air/foam mattresses; Katadyn expedition water filters; large base-camp dining tents with dining tables and comfortable chairs; 2-5 tanks of oxygen, each holding 623 liters.
