Our ‘SAFARI IN STYLE’ product is designed for those wanting a comfortable but adventurous small group tour. Whilst not a luxury tour (passengers have to walk to shared shower and toilet facilities), SAFARI IN STYLE is considerably more comfortable than our budget program in terms of service and facilities offered. SAFARI accommodation features twin share beds in spacious permanent tents with interior lights and fans. All linen, pillows and towels are provided. Our menu features quality produce and a glass of Australian wine with evening meals. In addition to the guide, a host will be on board (**when passenger numbers exceed 6) to enable a better level of service and a greater variety of quality meals.

ITINERARY

Day 1 – Alice Springs to Kata Tjuta & Uluru
It’s through the James and Waterhouse Ranges to our first stop: an Outback Camel Farm! See the world from a camel’s hump if you choose to go for a ride (at own expense). Next we’re off to Uluru, past the ancient Hugh and Finke River Systems and Mount Connor as we travel through the desert. Spectacular Kata Tjuta (the Olgas) will leave you amazed. Discover some of the secrets of this fascinating and ancient landform as you hike the Valley of the Winds. This evening, relax with a glass of Australian sparkling wine as the sun sinks slowly at Uluru (Ayers Rock). Soon the outback sky will darken, and after a delicious dinner you’ll be mesmerised by its starry brilliance before falling asleep in your safari accommodation. (LD)

Day 2 – Uluru to Kings Canyon
We’re up before dawn this morning and the reward is a magnificent Uluru sunrise. While the morning’s fresh (and your legs are too!) enjoy an unguided walk around the base of Uluru. Deepen your understanding of the land and its stories at the Cultural Centre, where you have the chance to look at and purchase Indigenous arts and crafts. In the afternoon we head to Kings Canyon, in time for a superb meal before settling down for the night in your safari accommodation. (BLD)

Day 3 – Kings Canyon to Alice Springs
Get your hiking shoes on today as we head out to explore the impressive formations which make up Kings Canyon. You’ll be left breathless by the sheer beauty of the Canyon as we trek through the Amphitheatre, the Lost City, the lush and ancient Garden of Eden and the North and South Walls. You’ll have a big appetite after today’s walks! After lunch we make the trip back to Alice Springs. (BL)

Operator Description:

An Australian Adventure is one click away. Great coastal and outback tours through Australia are what we do best. Turn scuba diving, snorkelling, sailing, horse riding, desert crossing, and bush survival into an Australian adventure of a life time. Visit the natural wonders of the Great Barrier Reef, ancient Daintree rainforest and Cairns and its lush tropical surrounds on one of our east coast adventures. Let the Whitsundays and Fraser Island take your breath away and take in the beauty of Byron Bay. Tour the outback and visit Ayers rock and the red centre while taking in the amazing landscapes of South Australia and the Northern Territory including destinations like Kakadu, Kings Canyon and The Olgas. Maybe a west coast adventure is more your style with glorious sunsets and the likes of the Pinnacles desert, the Bungle Bungles and Monkey Mia intrigue and excite you.
