April in Uluru is the perfect month to visit if you want cooler temperatures and smaller crowds than you’d get during the Winter peak season. With a pleasant temp ranging from 14°c to 29°c, the weather is very forgiving compared to earlier months so you’ll have the freedom to explore the magnificent landscape in comfort.
Walk the Base
If you’re looking to experience the sheer size and grand nature of Uluru, one of the best ways is by joining a base walk. With April having some of the year’s best weather, the clear, bright skies that come with that make it a perfect time to admire and photograph one of Australia’s most iconic sites.
The unique perspective you’ll gain is worth the trek and the landscape showcasing its diverse flora, fauna and geological formations is unforgettable. The cultural significance is made really clear when you are enveloped in the natural wonder of Uluru and its surrounds.
The full base walk will have you stretching your legs on a 10.6-kilometre trail, which wraps around the iconic rock. The walk – which takes around 3.5 hours to complete when walking at a leisurely pace – gives you the opportunity to see all that the desert landscape has to offer.
More Glorious Options
There are walks for every fitness level in Uluru! There’s the Kuniya Walk, which is a 1km path that takes around 45 minutes to complete and leads you to the Mutitjulu Waterhole. This walk is not only suitable for all ages but also shows you all the examples of beauty that are on offer at Uluru in April.
If you want just that little extra, the Mala Walk is a 2 km walk that lasts around 1.5 hours in total and will teach you about the cultural significance of the area to the Mala people. The Liru Walk is also another great option, stretching around 4 kilometres return. This one is around 1.5 hours in duration and offers a quieter, more secluded experience.
