| Wayoutback offers the adventure traveller an authentic outback camping safari with a touch of style and quality. They'll show you all the "must see" places like Uluru (Ayers Rock), Kata Tjuta (The Olgas) and Watarrka (Kings Canyon) and, as importantly, they'll give you the opportunity to really experience the desert. Bush camping, eating quality food cooked over a campfire and sleeping under the clearest southern stars you can imagine.
They'll add a more adventurous element to the trip, leaving the sealed road behind for a typical outback dirt road. If that's not outback enough, you then head 'wayoutback' 4-Wheel driving on bush tracks, across riverbeds and over sand dunes boldly going where no other tours dare.
One of the most important aspects of Wayoutback is the calibre of the guides. They are among the best in Central Australia through their enthusiasm and ability to bring people together to have the best time. This is backed up with extensive local knowledge of land, people and history.
 Check out a sample itinerary:
Day 1
After picking you up from your accommodation in Alice Springs bright and early at 5.45am, you complete ticketing on top of Anzac Hill while watching the sunrise over Alice Springs with a cup of tea or coffee.
The journey begins heading south to Erldunda travelling through the Waterhouse and James Ranges with a stop at The Camel Farm for refreshments and a Camel ride if you're keen. You also stop at Mt Ebenezer Roadhouse where you can view or purchase Aboriginal artifacts. On the way to Uluru (Ayers Rock) you stop to view Atila (Mount Connor), a mesa tableland and the first significant rock formation of our trip. After a stop for lunch and our arrival at the Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park, you head to the Cultural Centre and the opportunity to learn about the local Aboriginal law and religion (Tjukurpa) before a short guided walk at the base of Uluru. At this point you can take a full base walk or climb Uluru if you choose to do so. It's then close to that time ... yes, the famous changing colours of Uluru at sunset, complete with sparkling wine and nibbles. It's a great time to kick back and contemplate the day and the vastness of the desert.
Day 2
From a lookout close to the campsite you can view sunrise over Uluru (Ayers Rock) and Kata Tjuta (The Olgas) before rolling up the swags and heading off to Kata Tjuta for an 8km walk through the "Valley of the Winds". After a stop at the Resort for fuel and refreshments, you're off to Kings Creek Cattle Station for the second night's bush camp, complete with bush toilet and shower. With nobody else for miles, this camp has stunning views out over the George Gill Ranges and gives you a real feel for the Outback. Dinner around the campfire makes for a very social time with another night out under the stars.
Day 3
A leisurely start to the day before you head off to Watarrka (Kings Canyon) for a mind blowing 8km walk through the towering walls, crevices and plateaus of Watarrka. You'll visit the Amphitheatre and the Lost City plus a swim in the tranquil "Garden of Eden" if you wish. After lunch, start making the way back to Alice Springs travelling on a typical outback dirt road and then 4x4 driving, crossing riverbeds and sand dunes. You'll drop you back at your hostel/hotel early evening and usually all meet later for a bit of a night on the town (Alice seems like the big smoke after 3 days in the bush).
