— What You Can Expect —
This small group adventure encompasses the very best the Red Centre has to offer. 3 days of exploring 3 iconic locations (Uluru, Kings Canyon & Kata Tjuta) all wrapped up in 1 tour.
There is a very good reason why Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park is included on the UNESCO World Heritage List. The park was first added to the list in 1987 when the international community recognised its spectacular geological formations, rare plants and animals, and outstanding natural beauty. Your expert local guide will uncover some of the incredible secrets the Red Centre has to offer with guided commentary, stories, and hidden gems that really bring this place to life.
There are a couple of different sleeping options available: For the more adventurous traveller, opt for the traditional grassroots basic “swag” experience, where you will be sleeping under the stars in a canvas-covered bedroll. If you’re after a more private camping experience, choose the permanent safari tents with mattresses to provide the ultimate comfort while being outdoors.
