ITINERARY
Why we love this trip
It's a small group soft adventure guided safari
See highlight as you make your way between Alice Springs and Darwin
and also see Uluru 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)
Its an early rise if you are joining us in Alice Springs where
you will make the journey t o Ayers Rock where we will meet our
fellow travellers joining us there. This afternoon embark on an
interpretive base walk of Uluru. Those choosing to climb will
have the opportunity to do so, weather permitting. (Note: Uluru is a sacred site and the Anang u people ask visitors to respect
their law and do not climb it). The Cultural Centre is impressive
and well worth a visit before watching the ever changing colours
of Uluru at sunset. After dinner, some stories and stargazing,
its time for a good nights rest at our private campsite before
another active day tomorrow.

Day 2: (Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner)
Your guide will wake you bright and early to experience a mesmerising
Uluru sunrise which can be viewed close - by our campsite, early
mornings being such a magical time in the desert. Then its a short
drive to Kata Tju t a (the Olgas), an A boriginal word for many
heads, to explore its d omes of which there are 36 in total. Pull
on your hiking boots and take the Valley of the Winds walk through
creek beds, domes and beautiful wilderness. After lunch, i ts farewell
to Uluru Kata Tju t a National Park as we travel to Kings Creek
Station wher e we camp for the night.

Day 3: (Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner)
This morning we enter the Watarrka (Kings Canyon) National Park
, home of a mighty chasm with sheer red rock faces which soar over
100 metres above lush palm forests. The rim of Kings Canyon is a
6km round trip walk and you will visit the Amphitheatre, Lost City
and tranquil Garden of Eden. After our final meal together we begin
our journey back to Alice Springs arriving in the late afternoon.
Two nights Multi share dormitory accommodation in Alice Springs

township of Alice Springs. All activities and meals are at your
own expense. Multi - share accommodation in Alice Springs is included.
Day 5: (Lunch, Dinner)
You will be collected from your Alice S prings accommodation at

(80% of the Northern Territory lays north of this point). Further
along the track are the 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 6: (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 for our overnight
camp.

Important notes
Dietary Requirements
Special Dietary requirements and allergies
Our menu is designed for both carnivores and vegetarians. If you
are have any special dietary needs or allergies, please contact
us to discuss this at time of booking as you may need to provide
your own supplementary food/ snacks depending on your specific dietary
need or allergy.
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.
If you have any allergies, please carry the necessary medication.
Many dietary requirements are catered for in our standard menus.
