We begin day two with a tasty breakfast before hiking through tall trees and checking out waterholes. All with stunning vistas! What we are going to do next is something you won’t ever forget. We’ll be joining a Park Ranger who is going tell us all about conservation activities within the national park. And lucky you, you can be part of this too as we will be taking part in a conservation activity. Then it’s on to a fun pub for a refreshing drink. Once back at camp you can chill out, have dinner and enjoy another night under the stunning milky way.

We’ll be visiting Josephine’s Gallery and Kangaroo Orphanage to learn more about what they do for our beautiful orphaned kangaroos. The rest of the day is yours to do whatever you please, and there is plenty to explore. In the evening, you’ll be sleeping in an underground bunker – how exciting!

Then we’ll cross the border from South Australia to the Northern Territory, or the Top End. We’ll drive to Watarrka National Park, home to the famous Kings Canyon.

Now that you have seen Uluru by sunset, you probably also want to see Uluru during sunrise. So, get up early! We won’t just let you watch the sacred rock from a distance. No, we’ll get way closer and go for a guided (10km) walk around Uluru. Learn more about its history and the aboriginal culture of this place. After lunch, we’ll visit the Cultural Centre to learn even more about the Anangu culture and its people. In the afternoon we take part in a fun and authentic dot painting workshop, creating your own artwork to take home and treasure forever.
We’ll then head back to camp where you can relax. One of the best places to do this is around the pool. Or ask your guide about the activities at the Ayers Rock Resort. This is also our camping spot, so you can once more roll out your swag for a last night sleeping under the stars.
