Day 1 (Lunch & Dinner)
After picking you up from your accommodation in
Alice Springs bright and early from 5.45am, we
complete ticketing and introductions and then hit
the road on our adventure of a lifetime. (For those
commencing the tour at Uluru we will collect you
from the airport or Ayers Rock Resort)
Our journey begins heading south to Erldunda
travelling through the Waterhouse and James Ranges
with a stop at The Camel Farm for refreshments and a
Camel ride if you're keen +. We also stop at Mt
Ebenezer Roadhouse where you can view or purchase
Aboriginal artifacts. On the way to Uluru (Ayers
Rock) we stop to view Atila (Mount Connor), a mesa
tableland and the first significant rock formation
of our trip.
After a stop for lunch and our arrival at the
Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park, we head to the
Cultural Centre and the opportunity to learn about
the local Aboriginal law and religion (Tjukurpa)
before a short guided walk at the base of Uluru. At
this point you can take a full base walk, climb
Uluru if you choose to do so, or join the Aboriginal
guided Kuniya Walk +. Please note that the Kuniya
Walk is in place of doing the base walk or climbing
Uluru for clients that give priority to having a
direct indigenous experience on tour.
Of course no Uluru tour would be complete without
experiencing the famous changing colours of Uluru at
sunset, complete with sparkling wine and nibbles.
It's a great time to kick back and contemplate the
day and the vastness of the desert.

Olgas) before rolling up the swags and heading off
to Kata Tjuta for a leisurely 7km walk through the
"Valley of the Winds". After a stop at the Resort
for fuel and refreshments, we're off to Kings Creek
Cattle Station for our second night's bush camp,
complete with bush toilet and shower.
With nobody else for miles, this camp has
stunning views out over the George Gill Ranges and
gives you a real feel for the outback. Dinner around
the campfire makes for a very social time with
another night out under the stars.

Day 3 (Breakfast & Lunch)

walk through the towering walls, crevices and
plateaus of Watarrka. We'll visit the Amphitheatre
and the Lost City plus a swim in the tranquil
"Garden of Eden" if you wish.
Later we start making our way back to Alice
Springs travelling on a typical outback dirt road
and then 4-wheel driving, crossing riverbeds and
sand dunes. We'll drop you back at your hostel/hotel
early evening and usually all meet later for a bit
of a night on the town (Alice seems like the big
smoke after 3 days in the bush).
