ADVENTURE CUISINE

Tusker Trail partners with the Culinary Institute of America (CIA) to train our Kilimanjaro chefs. We also work side-by-side with the CIA's top chefs to create our extraordinary climbing menus.

When designing our menus we tailor them for variety, taste and the demanding nutritional needs of your climbing team.

HEALTH & SAFETY

When trekking to altitude, you have to accept that there are risks.

- years on Kilimanjaro has taught us to pay close attention to these risks. As a result we designed a specialized high altitude medical course for our guides.

The course trains them to deal with the specific challenges of Kilimanjaro's high altitude environment.

Our medically focused guides monitor your health every step of the way. And if you require a helicopter evacuation, you are covered by RIPCORD, our air evacuation company of note.

RIPCORD was right there alongside us during the Nepal earthquake in 2015. With their help we evacuated our entire group back home quickly, and safely.

Tusker uses more guides per group than any company. The number of guides depends on your group size and ranges from 2-6. If you're climbing solo, you'll have your own personal guide.

See how experienced professional guides make a huge difference in your success and safety.
