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 tho se commencing the tour at Uluru, we will collect you from the Outback Pioneer Hotel or the airport).
Ou r journey begins heading south through the Waterhouse and James
Ranges with a stop at the Camel Farm for a Camel ride if you're
keen (own expense). We stop at Mount Ebenezer Roadhouse where you
can view or purchase Aboriginal artefacts. Stop to view Atila (Mount
Connor), a mesa tablelan d 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 experience.
We conclude at the Cultural Centre, where you may explore the di
splays and learn of the flora and fauna of this unique area. Experience
the famous changing colours of Uluru at sunset, away from the
crowds, 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 tent
complete with beds.

Day 2: (Breakfast / Lunch / Dinner)
Rising early, take a short walk to a lookout close to our campsite
to view sunrise over Uluru and Kata Tjuta without the hustle and
bustle of the public viewing areas before heading off to Kata Tju
t a for a walk through the "Valley of the Winds". Afterwards, we're
off to Kings Creek Cattle Sta tion for our second nights' private
bush camp, complete with bush toilet a nd shower. With nobody else
for miles, this camp has stunning views out over the George Gill
Ranges and gives you a real feel for the outback. Dinner around
the campfire makes for a very social time with another night out
under the stars. Tonight, listen for the sound of dingoes howling
in the distance while watching the desert sky light up above you.

Our menu is designed for both carnivores and vegetarians. If you

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.

nationals of countries where local law prohibits a compulsory service
that is not included in the tour price. Whilst Travel Insurance
is strongly recommended for these nationals, we will not apply these
booking conditions where law prohibits it. However, all travellers
will be expected to sign a waiver before commencing their tour acknowledging
that they are aware of the increased risks associated with Adventure
Travel and that they understand that Wayoutback will not be held
responsible for any loss, damage, delay, accident or injury sustained
whilst on tour with us.
