Itinerary:
Day 1: Alice Springs to Uluru (Lunch & Dinner)
You'll be picked up outside your Alice Springs accommodation at approximately 6.10 am. Drive through the beautiful Outback and enjoy watching the desert come to life. Your first stop will be a traditional Aussie roadhouse for a quick breakfast (at your own expense), then it's back on the road. Enjoy a short stop along the way where you can view Mount Connor and the Salt lakes before arriving at Yulara. Here, you'll meet your fellow travellers starting the trip from The Rock.
After lunch here, drive to your first stop in Uluru National Park. You've got a choice between any of the following Uluru experiences:
- You can visit the Cultural Centre and enjoy 2 guided Uluru base walks (Mala & Mutitjulu Waterhole).
- Embark on the full 10km Uluru base walk, which is unguided. (Cultural Centre visit not included.)
- You can take on the Uluru climb (unguided, if open). The Cultural Centre visit not included in this option and please be aware that Uluru is a sacred site and the Anangu people ask visitors to respect their culture by not climbing the rock.
This evening, watch a spectacular Uluru sunset while enjoying a variety of snacks.
After sunset, you'll drive to the campsite for hot showers and a hearty meal. You will sleep this night in a swag (Aussie bedroll) under millions of outback stars.
