Explore the highlights of the Red Centre on this three day camping safari. See the majestic monolith of Uluru (Ayers Rock), the domes of Kata Tjuta (the Olgas) and the rugged beauty of Kings Canyon. This tour is designed for those who are looking for adventure and who want to experience the beauty of Central Australia whilst enjoying the reward of camping and meeting new friends.

This camping safari caters for those on a limited budget but still wanting to travel in a small group (10 - 22 passengers). Although there is no hard work on the camping tour, its success does rely on the participation of all the passengers to help with things like cooking and collecting firewood. Passengers considering this tour should be in good health, young at heart and be prepared to experience an unforgettable camping adventure. You stay in exclusive permanent camp sites with the tents already erected. These tents are large ridge-pole (hut style) tents with safari 'off-the-ground' beds, sleeping sheets and sleeping bags included.

The tour operator for this trip aims to provide a quality product specializing in personalized tours for those who want to see the true outback. They operate a large fleet of vehicles, fitted with air conditioning and designed for the rugged and harsh conditions of Central Australia. Their driver / tour guides are chosen for their vast knowledge of the country, fauna, flora and history and undertake a strict training program to graduate to this position. They are very conscientious and their prime concern is for their passenger's safety and being able to provide a memorable holiday.

Day 1: Alice Springs to Yulara (L, D)
Departing Alice Springs, we head south, stopping for a short visit at the Outback Camel Farm (rides at own expense) and then heading straight to our Yulara permanent campsite. The afternoon is spent exploring Kata Tjuta (The Olgas), before travelling to Uluru (Ayers Rock) to take in a spectacular sunset. Later we return to camp for a traditional Aussie meal. After dinner, relax around the camp, under starry desert skies.

Day 2: Yulara to Kings Creek (B, L, D)
Early rise for an exciting morning with breathtaking views of sunrise at Uluru (Ayers Rock), a World Heritage listed area. Join your knowledgeable guide for a base tour of Uluru, exploring ancient caves where Aboriginal paintings can be seen. A fascinating time learning about the oldest culture in the world. For those who really must tackle the 1.6km climb, you will also have the chance*. This afternoon, travel through red sand dune & desert oak country to Kings Creek Cattle Station where optional activities are abundant. Tonight, try a traditional “camp oven” dinner, cooked in the coals of the fire.

Day 3: Kings Creek to Alice Springs (B, L)
This morning we visit breathtaking Kings Canyon. There’s no rush, as we hike around the canyon rim viewing sites like the “Lost City” and the “Garden of Eden”, as well as the striking North and South Walls. There are plenty of opportunities for photos. We return to Kings Creek Station for lunch before travelling through sand dune country as we head back to Alice Springs, arriving approx. 6.30pm.

A MESSAGE FROM THE ANANGU PEOPLE
Note: Anangu, Uluru's traditional owners, would prefer that visitors choose not to climb Uluru. Furthermore, the climb may be closed without notice due to weather or cultural reasons.
