Eddie Frank was born and raised in Africa. He and his wife Amy have spent many years leading treks and expeditions there.  They conduct an adaptive adventure business that is harmonious in all respects with its environment. And by "environment" we mean the land, the people, and the wildlife. They have a vested interest in the communities where they operate.

Tusker spends over 60% of its total revenue in Tanzania. This money contributes immensely to the welfare of the local Kilimanjaro community.

Each year the following Tanzanian crew and staff feed their families from our climbs:

• 2,275 Porters
• 13 Professional Guides
• 18 Moshi Operations crew

These numbers reflect the number of crew directly employed by Tusker. It does not reflect the thousands of family members supported through hotel, food suppliers and other peripheral services.
