Itinerary: day by day
Day 1 : Alice Springs or Yulara (Ayers Rock Resort) to Kata Tjuta and Uluru
Ex Alice Springs:
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 Conner as we travel through the desert. Kata Tjuta (the Olgas) will amaze you as you get up close to the majestic features of this 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 behind 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. Take the opportunity to stretch your legs with a walk around the base of Uluru (unguided). 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. After lunch, take a well earned rest as we travel back to Alice Springs. (BL)
