Itinerary
Day 1 - Alice Springs to Uluru
The adventure begins travelling through the James and Waterhouse Ranges to the Outback Camel Farm where many passengers will have their first opportunity to ride a camel (at own expense). We journey onto Uluru (Ayers Rock) enjoying the sights of the ancient Hugh & Finke River systems, Mt Connor and the unique scenery along the way. After lunch at Yulara, we set out to explore the wonder of Kata Tjuta (Olgas) and hike the Valley of the Winds. We return to enjoy a glass of sparkling wine whilst watching the desert sun set over Uluru (Ayers Rock). After dinner at our permanent campsite, view the brilliance of the outback sky then curl up for the night in our tents or if you prefer, under the millions of stars in an authentic Aussie bedroll (swag).

Day 2 - Uluru to Kings Canyon
An early start is required for one of the highlights of the tour - the Uluru sunrise. Enjoy a walk around the base exploring the mysterious rock formations and Aboriginal art sites while watching the changing light on the desert or you can choose to climb the rock. A visit to the Cultural Centre offers the chance to view and purchase Aboriginal arts and crafts. After lunch, we depart for Kings Canyon for our overnight camp and a great camp oven dinner. (BLD)
