Three nights across the Red Centre
This is a private, Aboriginal-guided journey over four days and three nights, taking in Uluru, Kata Tjuta and Kings Canyon. You spend one night camping on an Aboriginal family's homeland, share a fire, walk on private land and hear stories passed down through generations. The rest of the trip is paced around sunrise, sunset and the walks you want to do.
Guides on this journey are Aboriginal or have been trained by local Anangu people, with time spent alongside the community who live in the national park. The days are built around what you want to see, so treat the plan below as the shape of the trip rather than a fixed timetable.
Your travel consultant builds the itinerary around your dates and interests, usually back to you within the hour.

How the days run
Every day is tailored, so treat this as the shape, not the script.
- Day one · Aboriginal homelands
You are met at Ayers Rock airport and drive out on remote dirt roads to an Aboriginal family's homeland. There is a Welcome to Country, a walk on private land and time by the fire, then dinner and a night in camping tents with amenities.
- Day two · Kings Canyon
After breakfast at camp you take on the Kings Canyon Rim Walk, with easier tracks on offer. You pass the view spots, the canyon walls and the Garden of Eden, then stop for lunch at an outback cattle station.
- Day three · Kata Tjuta at sunrise
An early start for sunrise over Kata Tjuta, then a walk in Walpa Gorge or the Valley of the Winds, chosen to suit your fitness and how you feel on the day.
- Day three · Uluru at sunset
In the afternoon an Anangu guide from the Mutitjulu community joins you for the Mala and Kuniya walks, the Mutitjulu Waterhole and the rock art caves, finishing with Uluru at sunset.
- Day four · Departure
A transfer back to the airport wraps up the trip, with the morning free until it is time to go.
