Along the way, we’ll stop briefly at Mount Connor often called “False Uluru” for a scenic view and take a short break at Curtin Springs. From there, we continue to Uluru for lunch and meet-up with guests arriving at the airport. Next, visit the Aboriginal Cultural Centre to learn about the rich history, stories, and cultural significance of the land. Then, enjoy a guided walk around the base of Uluru, where your guide will share insights into ancient rock art, sacred waterholes like Mutitjulu, and the stories of Kuniya the python and Liru the venomous snake. Continue to Kantju Gorge, home to Central Australia's tallest seasonal waterfall, and explore sacred caves once used as natural pantries by local Aboriginal people. End the day with a stunning Uluru sunset—perfect for photos and memories. Enjoy dinner under the expansive Outback sky before settling in at the campsite for the night.

    Sunrise seekers, rise and shine! A pre-dawn wake-up call will be rewarded with an unforgettable experience as we begin the day before dawn to witness the stunning sunrise at Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park. After soaking in the first light over Uluru, we’ll continue our journey to Kata Tjuta (The Olgas), a striking collection of dome-shaped rock formations that evoke a sense of otherworldliness. You’ll embark on either the Valley of the Winds or Walpa Gorge walk, both offering spectacular views and ample opportunities for awe-inspiring moments. Following our time at Kata Tjuta, we stop at camp for a bite to eat before making our way to the Kings Canyon region, arriving in time to enjoy another breathtaking outback sunset. The day will conclude with a traditional campfire dinner, offering a truly authentic Australian outback experience.
