Wild Sleep-Out Camping Adventure

The Wild Sleep-Out Camping Adventure is an ideal soft adventure for those who want to enjoy an authentic Aussie bush experience. Get up close and personal with some of Australia’s iconic animals, such as koalas, kangaroos and dingoes, and even juvenile crocodiles, as well as a chance to spot wild nocturnal creatures in the trees and feeding along the tracks.

Your Wild Sleep-Out Camping Adventure gives you the unique opportunity to actually camp out with free roaming animals. Your tents are animal-proof, as long as you keep the door zipped up the animals will stay outside. But the animals are not in cages.
