3 Day 4WD Safari
Uluru, Kata Tjuta and Watarrka (Kings Canyon)
Departs Alice Springs 6am and Ayers Rock Resort 1pm daily
Maximum 7-14 passengers
DAY 1 (Lunch & Dinner)
After picking you up from your accommodation in Alice Springs bright and early at 5.45am, we complete ticketing and introductions and then hit the road on our adventure of a lifetime.
Our journey begins heading south to Erldunda travelling through the Waterhouse and James Ranges with a stop at The Camel Farm for refreshments and a Camel ride if you're keen+. We also stop at Mt Ebenezer Roadhouse where you can view or purchase Aboriginal artifacts. On the way to Uluru (Ayers Rock) we stop to view Atila (Mount Connor), a mesa tableland and the first significant rock formation of our trip.
After a stop for lunch and our arrival at the Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park, we head to the Cultural Centre and the opportunity to learn about the local Aboriginal law and religion (Tjukurpa) before a short guided walk at the base of Uluru. At this point you can take a full base walk or climb Uluru if you choose to do so.
Of course no Uluru tour would be complete without experiencing the famous changing colours of Uluru at sunset, complete with sparkling wine and nibbles. It's a great time to kick back and contemplate the day and the vastness of the desert.
DAY 2 (Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner)
From a lookout close to our campsite we can view sunrise over Uluru (Ayers Rock) and Kata Tjuta (The Olgas) before rolling up the swags and heading off to Kata Tjuta for an 8km walk through the "Valley of the Winds". After a stop at the Resort for fuel and refreshments, we're off to Kings Creek Cattle Station for our second night's bush camp, complete with bush toilet and shower.
With nobody else for miles, this camp has stunning views out over the George Gill Ranges and gives you a real feel for the outback. Dinner around the campfire makes for a very social time with another night out under the stars.
DAY 3 (Breakfast & Lunch)
A leisurely start to the day before we head off to Watarrka (Kings Canyon) for a mind blowing 8km walk through the towering walls, crevices and plateaus of Watarrka. We'll visit the Amphitheatre and the Lost City plus a swim in the tranquil "Garden of Eden" if you wish.
After lunch we start making our way back to Alice Springs travelling on a typical outback dirt road and then 4-wheel driving, crossing riverbeds and sand dunes. We'll drop you back at your hostel/hotel early evening and usually all meet later for a bit of a night on the town (Alice seems like the big smoke after 3 days in the bush).
Itinerary may change due to seasonal changes, operational logistics and accessibility.
