About this tour

Sleep under canvas in either shared safari tents or traditional swags, with all meals prepared communally. An accredited guide shares local knowledge and hidden corners most visitors miss. Tour concludes in Alice Springs or Uluru.

What to expect
You'll cover serious ground—expect 6–8 km walks daily through rocky terrain, gorges, and open plains. Temperatures swing dramatically; days are hot and exposed, nights cool. Accommodation is genuine outback: either a twin-share safari tent with proper bedding or a canvas swag (bedroll). Meals happen together at camp; you'll chip in with prep and cleanup—it's how the group bonds after long days walking. Your guide provides real stories about the land's geology, ecology, and Indigenous significance, not rehearsed commentary. This is physically demanding and rewards fitness and flexibility.
Good to know
Moderate-to-advanced fitness required; those over 75 need a doctor's certificate. Not suitable for young children (under 8), pregnant travellers, or anyone with spinal or heart conditions. Hire a sleeping bag for AU$40 if needed. Notify the operator of dietary requirements and medical conditions when booking. Remote locations mean limited food sourcing—plan ahead. Bring your own water bottle.
