I'm not very outdoorsy... what is camping like??

We have a very comfortable camp set up, which includes all of the things you might need to stay comfortable outdoors. We have comfortable swags, hot tea and good coffee, and delicious freshly cooked meals to eat around the campfire. Our guide is used to helping first time campers get comfortable with the set up. 

 

The weather in Central Australia is usually dry (we are in a desert), but we have got tents available for  the rare night that we do get rain.

I don't know anything about Aboriginal culture... what should I expect?

Central Australia is home to a number of Aboriginal cultures, each of whom have different cultural practices. It is important to respect Culture, and learn some basic culturally accepted behaviours. Your experienced tour guide will give you a basic introduction to the Cultures of Central Australia.
