Dear Travellers,
As 2025 draws closer, I’m delighted to announce the addition of a new tour to next years schedule; the 8-Day Flinders Range Expedition in South Australia. This new tour begins and ends in Adelaide, and showcases the very best of the northern and southern Flinders Ranges, including the Gammon Ranges, Arkaroola Wilderness Sanctuary and Wilpena Pound. I will be the Tour Leader and Driver on this trip, so I hope you will consider joining me for this expedition.
I will also be leading our South Australian Lake Eyre tour, a 10-day trip travelling from Alice Springs to Adelaide. As the journey unfolds, we will discover the opal capital of Australia, Coober Pedy, Australia’s largest salt lake, Kati Thanda-Lake Eyre, and the 8000-hectare amphitheatre of mountains, Wilpena Pound. Along the way, soak in a natural spa under the stars, discover rare and unique wildlife, and delve into the rich cultural heritage of the South Australian outback.
For those interested in Botswana (March 2025), please get in touch with me as soon as possible to hold your place, as bookings will soon close. With limited rooms remaining, please don’t wait to book this incredible African wildlife safari.
