ITINERARY
Why we love this trip
It's a small group soft adventure guided safari
Visit Uluru Kata Tjuta National Park and get the best of the park
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 bright and early, we hit the road on our
adventure of a lifetime. (For those commencing the tour at Uluru we will collect you from the Outback Pioneer Hotel or meet you
from your flight at the airport). Our journey begins heading south
to E rldunda travelling through the Waterhouse and James Ranges
with a stop at the Camel Farm for refreshments and a Camel ride
if you're keen (own expense). We stop at Mount Ebenezer Roadhouse
where you can view or purchase Aboriginal artifacts. On the way
to Uluru 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 Tju t a National
Park, we travel to the base of Uluru where your guide will lead
you on an interpretive walk, hearing of the Aboriginal law and religion
(Tjukurpa) . Continuing on, we meet our local Aboriginal Guide who
will provide a once in a lifetime authentic Indigenous cultural
experience with an interpretive walk to Mutitjulu Waterhole where
you will hear the stories of the unique landscapes, art and culture
of the local custodians, the Anangu people. This experience is followed
by a hands - on dot painting session where you will take your artwork
as a memento of your experienc e. We conclude at the Cultural Centre,
where you may explore the displays and learn of the flora and fauna
of this unique area.
Experience 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. Afterwards
settle in at our remote private camp, complete with our signature
Endless Star dining experience before retiring to your swag under
the amazing night sky or your comfortable safari te nt complete
with beds.

need or allergy.

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.
