Frequently Asked Questions

With strict luggage restrictions of 1 x 15kg backpack and one small day pack, you need to pack sensibly and light. Please ensure you have comfortable walking shoes, a hat, jacket, raincoat, sunglasses, water bottle or Camelbak, swimmers, beach towel and of course a camera. Please bring a pillow and sleeping bag to insert into your swag.

For cooler months if you are camping we strongly recommend beanies, thermals, thick warm socks and gloves. It can get very cold during the night. If travelling in summer we recommend that you bring loose, cool, cotton clothing to protect yourself from the harsh sun. A sun hat, sunscreen and sunglasses are a must.

Australia has a relaxed attitude to standards of dress. However, depending on the time of year, you may need to be prepared for the extremes.

Temperatures in Southern Australia in winter (June, July, August) can get quite cold with daytime temperatures from 10 to18 degrees Celsius and nighttime temperatures can reach zero. Please ensure you pack appropriately. 

In summer, daytime temperatures can be extreme from November to April with temperatures generally in the 30s but sometimes reaching over 40 degrees Celsius. Be prepared to endure extra physical stress due to the heat at these times, especially while on walks.

The Operator is happy to cater to passengers with most special diets but these and or food allergies MUST be informed at the time of booking. Some of the food for the trip is purchased prior to commencement and special requirements cannot be catered for after departing. If you have not notified The Operator prior to departure, you may be asked to pay for any additional food yourself. The Supplier offers plenty of variety and do their best to provide fresh products. Snacks, soft drinks and alcohol are not included.

This tour is best suited to travellers who love nature, hiking, and spending time outdoors, with a good dose of fun and group camaraderie.

To get the most out of your experience, please consider the following:

  • Fitness requirements: A moderate level of fitness is needed. On some days, you may be walking between 3 and 12 km, often on uneven ground and in hot or wet conditions.
  • Mobility considerations: While there's no upper age limit, all travellers should selfassess their mobility and comfort with activities such as hiking, swimming, and swag camping. You'll need to be able to lift yourself from ground level, as swags are traditional ground-based bedding.
  • Medical conditions: If you have any mobility concerns or pre-existing health conditions, we strongly recommend speaking with your doctor before booking. Please also inform us of any relevant conditions prior to travel, so we can offer the right support.
  • Fit for Travel declaration: All travellers must complete an online check-in, including a mandatory 'Fit for Travel' declaration, at least 24 hours before departure. This confirms you are free from illness and physically able to join the tour.

This is a participatory camping tour, meaning guests are expected to get involved by helping with basic tasks, such as meal preparation and packing up camp.

Accommodation includes a mix of national parks, bush campgrounds, and one night in shared dorm accommodation in Coober Pedy. Most campgrounds offer basic toilet and shower facilities, except for Warren Gorge, which does not have showers.

When camping, you'll sleep in a traditional Aussie swag—a sturdy canvas bed roll with a built-in mattress, used under the stars or in wet weather tents.

Swag Upgrade: Want a little extra comfort? You can upgrade to a deluxe double swag for $300 (sleeps up to two people). This version features a high-density foam mattress and mesh windows for ventilation. Availability is limited, and upgrades are available on a first-come, first-served basis. Please contact us if you wish to add this option.

Sleeping bags: Please bring your own sleeping bag and pillow.

Weather conditions: Be prepared for extreme weather, including high temperatures, cold temperatures, and exposure to the elements. In the event of wet weather, group tents will be provided for shared shelter. Should extreme weather affect the camping experience, alternative accommodation may be arranged. Any additional costs will be shared 50/50 between Untamed Escapes and guests.

AAT Kings operates transfers from Uluru to Alice Springs, departing from the Desert Gardens Hotel on the last day of your tour between 12:30 pm and 1:00 pm from March to November. Our tour finishes in the late morning on day seven, so our guide will ensure any passengers catching this shuttle are at the departure point with plenty of time to spare. The shuttle arrives in Alice Springs at approximately 7 pm.

It is recommended to pre-book in order to secure your spot (approx $260pp)
