TOUR ITINERARY:
Day 1: Alice Springs to Uluru

First stop at Uluru is the Cultural Centre for an insight into the unique culture of local Aboriginal people, followed by a healthy lunch.
You’ll do a guided Mutijulu Waterhole walk and learn the history of the amazing Uluru. Then you are free to do a 9klm base walk around, or if you wish, climb Uluru (unguided). Later you watch a spectacular Uluru Sunset with a hearty meal and a glass of champagne. Then on to their campsite for hot showers and a night sleeping in a swag under millions of outback stars. (L, D)
Day 2: Uluru Sunrise, Kata Tjuta, and Kings Creek Station
Up early for a spectacular Uluru Sunrise and healthy breakfast. You’ll then head to the Olgas(Kata Tjuta) for a guided 5.5km walk through the Valley of the Winds, followed by lunch. On to Kings Creek Station to relax and enjoy an Outback BBQ and freshly cooked damper around the campfire, then hot showers and another great night in your swag at “the Million Star Hotel” (B, L, D included)
Day 3: Kings Canyon, Mt Ebenezer, the Camel farm- to Alice Springs
Breakfast and a short drive to Kings Canyon for a guided 6km Canyon Rim walk in one of the most spectacular areas of the outback. Visit the natural Amphitheatre, North and South Walls, and the Garden of Eden along the way.
After lunch you return to Alice Springs with stops at Mt Ebenezer Aboriginal Art Gallery and the Camel Farm, arriving back at your accommodation early evening. You’ll catch up for dinner and drinks with your new friends later that evening.
(Breakfast, Lunch included).
What is a Swag?
A swag is made from strong canvas, sewn like a large sleeping bag with a comfortable sponge mattress inside providing warmth, comfort, and security. You sleep in your sleeping bag inside the swag-so it`s much warmer than a tent!
