ITINERARY

Why we love this trip
• It's a small group soft adventure guided safari
• See highlight as you make your way between Darwin and Alice Springs and get the best of the trip in a short time

Is this trip right for you?
• Looking for a medium adventure with like minded folks then this is the trip.
• Group participation makes up a lot of this trip, so you'll be required to help with preparation of meals and cleaning up. These are the kind of tasks that bring a group closer together.

 

Day 1: (Lunch, Dinner)
Departing Alice Springs at approximately 6 .00 am , our adventure through the ‘ Territory ’ to Darwin begins . Just north of Alice Springs is the Tropic of Capricorn ( 80 % of the Northern Territory lays north of this point ) . Further along the track are t he Devils Marbles (Karlu Karlu) which are a collection of gigantic granite boulders magically balanced on top of one another. Our day winds to a close just north of Tennant Creek at historic Banka Banka Cattle Station where we camp for the night.

Day 2: (Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner)
No trip to the ‘Territory’ is complete without a visit to the Daly Waters Pub, an important watering hole for explorers and drovers in days gone by and now a great spot for a cold beer, a bit of history and a ‘ fair dinkum outback experience’! Later in the day you can take a soak in the Mataranka Thermal Pools, a lush oasis fringed by paperbark trees before journeying to Katherine and our overnight camp where you will have the opportunity to take a breathtaking scenic flight which will give you spectacular v iews of the Nitmiluk Gorge System (seasonal and at own expense).

• W.A.Safaris operates in some remote parts of Australia where certain foods are not easily available and therefore cannot accommodate all dietary requests. At times, produce and products may be substituted as supply dictates and Wayoutback cannot guarantee the ingredients contained in these alternatives. Whilst all of our guides are trained in remote touring, they are not nutritionists and neither they nor Wayoutback Australian Safaris can advise of all ingredients contained in each food served on tour and are not responsible should an allergic reaction occur.
