2.5 Day MacDonnell Ranges “Caterpillar Dreaming” 4WD Safari - Palm Valley and West MacDonnell Ranges Adventure Tour

Bush Camping and 4-Wheel Driving

This unique 2.5 Day West MacDonnell Ranges adventure tour offers the very best of the Alice Springs region: the West MacDonnell Ranges and Palm Valley as well as two nights out bush, camping under our magnificent southern stars. Travelling in a 4WD vehicle with a genuine small group (max. 16 people), we explore highlights such as Ormiston Gorge, Glen Helen Gorge, Owen Springs Reserve, the Hermannsburg Settlement as well as 4-wheel driving into Palm Valley.

Aboriginal Component

We'll also visit the Oak Valley Aboriginal Community south of Alice Springs to provide you with a first-hand experience of local Aboriginal life. You can learn about ancient myths and stories of their land, bush tucker, spear and boomerang throwing. You will also get to experience some of their paintings and artefacts they make which can be purchased. As well as Oak Valley we will visit Hermannsburg Aboriginal Community offering the opportunity to explore this settlement that was established in 1877.

Our Guides Among the Best

Our experienced guides have all the required bush skills to keep you safe and comfortable. They are among the best in Central Australia because of their enthusiasm and ability to bring people together to have the best time. This is backed up with extensive local knowledge of the outback, the Aboriginal people (Anangu), plus local and European history.

This 2 day safari will leave you with a memory of a lifetime and a real taste of Outback Alice Springs.
