Spend four days exploring the highlights of the Red Centre - Uluru, Kata Tjuta and Kings Canyon in a comfortable 16 seat 4WD vehicle. Get off the beaten track and travel along the less travelled Mereenie Loop road in the majestic Western MacDonnell ranges. The highlights of this safari is a visit to the Outback Camel Farm with a optional camel ride, sunset and sunrise at Uluru, a journey along the Mereenie dirt road and accommodation in comfortable permanent tents.

Day 1 : Alice Springs or Yulara (Ayers Rock Resort) to Kata Tjuta and Uluru

Ex Alice Springs:

Welcome to the Outback! Our first stop is the Outback Camel Farm where you can see the world from the top of a camel if you choose to take a ride (own expense). Next we travel to the Ayers Rock Resort for your first glimpse of Uluru, located in the heart of the Red Centre. After lunch, we explore fascinating Kata Tjuta (the Olgas) on a guided interpretive walk through the Valley of the Winds. We make it back in time for an enthralling desert sunset over Uluru. After dinner, settle down for the night in your safari accommodation. (LD)

Day 2 : Uluru to Kings Canyon

Sunrise over Uluru is magical and it’s an early start to catch it. While the morning’s fresh (and your legs are too) enjoy an unguided walk around the base of Uluru. Gain a further insight into the land, its stories and the people who inhabit it at the Cultural Centre, where you’ll also have the opportunity to invest in original arts and crafts by Indigenous artists. We’ll have lunch before heading over to Kings Canyon. We spend the night at our safari accommodation at Kings Canyon Resort. (BLD)

Day 3 : Kings Canyon to Glen Helen

There’s a lot to explore at Kings Canyon and we check out the Amphitheatre, Lost City, the lush and ancient Garden of Eden and the sheer outcrops of the North and South walls. After lunch, we travel along the well-known Mereenie Loop Track (also called the Red Centre Way). We pass the 140 million year old meteorite crater, Gosse Bluff as we travel towards Glen Helen where we spend the night in our safari accommodation nestled in the western end of the majestic MacDonnell Ranges.

Day 4 : Glen Helen to Alice Springs

During a morning hike you will discover the spectacular geological features of Ormiston Gorge and spot for wallabies and other wildlife. Then we travel along the ancient track of the Finke River to access the majestic scenery of Palm Valley and Cycad Gorge, exploring what was once a prehistoric inland sea. Keep your eyes out for the Livistonia Mariae, a tropical palm and one of the rarest trees in the world. The spectacular Western MacDonnell Ranges will continue to impress you all the way back to Alice Springs. (BL)
