Itinerary

Day 1: Alice Springs to Kata Tjuta and Uluru

Our adventure begins travelling to the Outback Camel Farm where passengers will get to ride a camel (at own expense), before continuing on to Uluru (Ayers Rock) viewing the unique scenery along the way. After lunch, we set out to explore the wonder of Kata Tjuta (Olgas) and hike the Valley of the Winds. We return to watch the desert sun set over Uluru (Ayers Rock). After dinner at our permanent campsite, view the brilliance of the outback sky then curl up for the night in our tents or if you prefer, under the millions of stars in an authentic Aussie bedroll (swag).

Day 2: Uluru to Kings Canyon

An early start is required for one of the highlights of the tour - the Uluru sunrise. Enjoy a walk around the base exploring the mysterious rock formations and Aboriginal art sites while watching the changing light on the desert or you can choose to climb the rock. A visit to the Cultural Centre offers the chance to view and purchase Aboriginal arts and crafts. After lunch, we depart for Kings Canyon for our overnight camp and a great camp oven dinner. (BLD)

Climb and explore Kings Canyon, viewing the impressive formations of the 'Amphitheatre', 'The Lost City', the picturesque 'Garden of Eden' and the breathtaking North and South walls. After lunch we depart for Alice Springs, enjoying the rugged desert scenery along the way. (BL)
