WHAT IS THE TUSKER DIFFERENCE?
46 YEARS REFINING THE TRUE THRILL OF ADVENTURE
Eddie Franks's first thrill of adventure manifested when he led his first of cross country expedition across the African continent in 1977. Eddie found himself and a friend in two British ex-army Land Rovers, leading a dozen adventurers across the Sahara Desert on the first of many expeditions through Africa, back when a climb up Kili's summit was how Eddie ended his trans-African adventures. The camaraderie and passion for discovery on that first journey was invigorating. It hit a nerve, and that's when he made it his mission to create treks centered around this life changing thrill of discovery.
During the 46 years since his first summit, Eddie has used his knowlege from his 52 personal Kilimanjaro summits to personally customized every single detail of each climb so that it's 100% focused on providing the same thrill to climbers, that he felt leading this first expedition. Today, Tusker Trails 5-Star rating and steller reviews proves Eddie is accomplishing his goal with every single climb.
