After meeting your group and guide in Ayers Rock Airport, your first stop of the day will be at the Cultural Centre showcasing Aboriginal art and history, for you to gain insight into the significance of Uluru and Kata Tjuta. Next, discover ancient rock art sites and fascinating creation stories while taking a base walk at Uluru itself. Stop by Mutitjulu waterhole and the amazing Kantju Gorge, which is home to the tallest waterfall in Central Australia and an elders’ cave. Cap off the day with a filling dinner and a stunning sunset at Uluru Lookout before camping out under the stars.

Get up early, enjoy a hearty breakfast, and head to Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park for a spectacular sunrise. Take in the breathtaking view of Kata Tjuta’s impressive silhouette. Take an exciting hike through Walpa Gorge and the breathtaking Valley of the Winds and marvel at the massive conglomerate rock formations. After finishing your exploration of Kata Tjuta, return to Yulara Airport around midday, or stay an extra night at the safari camp for more time in the Red Centre.

Basic Single Swag (sleeps 1) – For guests who wish to sleep under the stars on the ground, in a self-contained canvas-covered bush bed roll with a camp mattress.

Twin Share Safari Tent (sleeps 2) – For guests wishing to sleep in the outback but remain protected from the elements, there will be permanent tented campsites, twin single beds with mattresses, bed linen supplied, and lantern. (Solo travellers booking separately in a Twin Share Safari Tent will be paired with another solo passenger, where possible of the same gender but not guaranteed.)

The permanent tented campsites have access to communal campground showers and toilets. These sites generally have limited solar power or are unpowered. Therefore, guests are asked to bring rechargeable power banks (limited power access to charge phones or cameras).

Given the tour departs early from Alice Springs (between 6:00-6:30am), guests must arrive the day prior to the tour and stay 1-night. Once your Alice Springs accommodation is booked, please let the supplier know and they can arrange a pickup on the day of the tour. Airport to accommodation transfer pre and post tour is not included.

A minimum moderate to advanced level of fitness is required to complete the walks. The length of walks will be between 2km to 6km each day, often over steep rocky sections and in direct sunlight and high humidity. An approximate 12-15km walk is included in this tour. Embarking on walks will be at the guide’s discretion to ensure the safety of guests. Therefore a medium/high level of fitness is required and a doctor’s certificate is required for people over 70 years (30 days prior to travel).

Please only bring small soft overnight bags and hand luggage only as there is limited storage onboard the vehicles. Large suitcases and oversized luggage can be left at your hotel whilst you are on tour. This tour is not suitable for anyone who requires the use of a mobility aid, wheelchair, walker, and or stroller.

Most of the meals are prepared by your tour guides with basic camping-style food options and on occasions, they will be provided by your accommodation providers onsite. Guests are asked to participate in the preparation of meals, clean-up, and vehicle unpacking/loading as it’s a great way to get to know and connect with your fellow travellers.

You will be travelling in an all-terrain 4×4 range eco-tour bus, uniquely designed to handle the harshest of terrains and off-road tracks. The maximum number of passengers on these tours is 15-21 people, with a minimum requirement of 8 people to guarantee the departure.

The weather in the Northern Territory can fluctuate and be extreme. It is not unheard of for temperatures to reach over 40+ degrees Celsius in the dry season and in the evening the temperature drops dramatically. Please ensure you have checked the average temperatures for the time of year you are travelling and have packed adequate clothing. In the event of rain or inclement weather, your experience will still go ahead, unless contacted by the provider.
