About Eddie Frank

Founder and Owner of Tusker Trail, Eddie Frank, has

been leading Kilimanjaro climbs for more than 37

years. Born and raised in Africa, Eddie’s vision for the

company took root during his early teens when he

dreamed of creating a world-class Kilimanjaro climbing

company. Now, after having completed 50 climbs

Eddie Frank has secured Tusker Trail’s reputation as

the top climbing outfitter on Kilimanjaro. Eddie consults

regularly with the US Army Special Forces using his

knowledge of high altitude strategies and techniques.

Expert Guides

Tusker Trail’s superb guides are highly skilled,

medically-trained mountain guides who are the envy

of every company on Kilimanjaro. Tusker Trail’s

world-renowned High Altitude First Responder

medical course prepares it’s expert guiding team for

any high altitude medical scenario that can take

place in Kilimanjaro’s harsh environment. The

Tusker guides’ leadership and continually renewed

medical skills put them in a league of their own.

Their high altitude expertise and climbing

knowledge, along with their finely tuned leadership

skills instill confidence and offers peace of mind to

climbers who dream of summiting Kilimanjaro.

Safety

Tusker Trail’s primary concern on their Kilimanjaro climbs is

safety. Tusker’s professional, medically-trained mountain

guides monitor climbers every step of the way and are

considered the finest on the mountain. Because of

Kilimanjaro’s extreme environment, accidents and fatalities

are a serious concern. While no one can completely

guarantee a climber’s safety, Tusker Trail’s leaders are fully

prepared for high altitude medical challenges, including

expert evacuation. They are meticulously trained to save

lives during high altitude emergencies. Tusker Trail’s 50-

hour intensive High Altitude First Responder medical

training course is not offered by any other company on

Mount Kilimanjaro, and climbers can be rest assured that

Tusker Trail’s guides have received the most

comprehensive medical training in the business. Tusker

Trail’s Kilimanjaro summit rate is 99%---more than

double the average on the mountain.

‘Elevated’ Cuisine

The most pleasantly surprising highlight of the Kilimanjaro

climbing experience with Tusker Trail is quite possibly the

cuisine. For a five-year period, Tusker Trail has engaged

the Culinary Institute of America to train their Kilimanjaro

chefs. The Culinary Institute of America has also been

enlisted to design Tusker’s extraordinary ‘mountain

menus’. Working closely with Chef David Kamen,

professor of culinary arts, and Chef James Hanyzeski

CMC, Tusker Trail owners Eddie and Amy Frank have

brought a whole new meaning to the term "elevated

cuisine." While climbing Kilimanjaro, adventurers will

enjoy sumptuous, carefully prepared meals made with

fresh meat, fruits, and vegetables. Guests dine in comfort

in roomy all-weather dining tents equipped with tables,

folding chairs, and gas lamps for warmth and lighting.

Charity Fundraising Climbs

treks with 51 different charity groups and has helped

these charities raise more than $11 million. Tusker

Trail led its first fundraising climb to the summit of

Kilimanjaro in August 2001 for the Make-a-Wish

Foundation and has since helped renowned non-profit

organizations such as CARE, the Canadian Breast

Cancer Foundation, the Canadian Blood Services, and

the Montreal Canadiens Children Foundation. Tusker

Trail offers discounts and makes donations to bona

fide charities.
