Eddie Frank has been leading Kilimanjaro climbs for 37 years. "Born and raised in Africa" are his credentials. Eddie's vision for Tusker started in his teens, and he's building it foot by foot, climb by climb.

Eddie's vision is your 37 -year guarantee. And his word stands behind it.

 

 

At the age of 24, while working as a photographer, a friend bet him that he'd never drive across Africa. Six months later he and his Landrover were on their first Sahara crossing. On that first trip Eddie discovered his passion for Kilimanjaro, a "world of stone".

 

 

Since then, Eddie has crossed the Sahara desert 34 times, and climbed Kilimanjaro 46 times - and he's still climbing. By continuing to lead expeditions Eddie keeps his finger on the pulse of Tusker's operation. His Kilimanjaro guides have nicknamed him, "Nondo".

It means "Steel Bar."

Eddie Frank is our "steel bar", and your 37 -year guarantee.

Tusker Trail is the only company to have established a definitive medical Training Course for its Kilimanjaro guides.

Since then, many our competitors have realized the value of advertising "medically trained guides". We�re proud to have set the standard for world class climbs on Kilimanjaro.
