A slice through the centre of Australia, the Northern Territory contains the 'Red Centre' of the country with its rugged bush, ancient Aboriginal cultures and amazing plant and wildlife. The abundant wide open space is the 'Outback' of Australia. The Northern Territory is twice the size of California, but is inhabited by fewer than 200,000 people. It draws tourists, however, because it forms the backdrop for adventure on a grand scale - hot-air ballooning, bushwalking, four-wheel drive safaris, camel rides, all of it accessible from good roads and from bases with quality accommodation.
From Darwin in the far north, down to Uluru (Ayers Rock) and the pioneer town of Alice Springs in the south, the Northern Territory is a land of many contrasts. Here you will meet some colourful characters and experience deserts, islands and beaches, wetlands teeming with birds and crocodiles, shimmering rivers and ancient Aboriginal sites. Australia’s ‘Red Centre’ is the true, mythical Outback Australia - red dust, empty tracks, unique wildlife and big characters.
Situated in the Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park, Uluru (Ayers Rock) is one of the world’s most recognised natural icons - a giant sandstone formation rising boldly out of its seemingly stark landscape. The lesser-known Kata Tjuta (The Olgas) is equally impressive. Translating as 'many heads', these colossal rock domes hold secrets of fascinating local indigenous history.
Remote Alice Springs is Australia’s most famous Outback town as well as home to the Royal Flying Doctor Service and rich in local heritage.
Watarrka National Park is where you will find the mighty Kings Canyon, and with 300m high walls, sandstone formations, a 'Lost City' and a forested waterhole deep in a gorge, it really is an otherworldly landscape.
Uluru & Red Centre highlights
• Sunrise and sunset at Uluru are unmissable - watch the rock surface change colour from a flaming red to a deep brown, and every hue in between
• Hike through Kata Tjuta to the wonderful 'Valley of the Winds' lookout (approx. three hour circuit)
• Visit the Uluru-Kata Tjuta Cultural Centre for an enthralling introduction to Anangu culture
• Drift soundlessly over the MacDonnell Ranges and Alice Springs as the sun rises on a magical hot-air balloon ride
• Stand at the rim of Kings Canyon with its sheer drop and feel like you are on the edge of the world
• Explore independently with a Kuoni self-drive: perhaps see the Red Centre's main attractions on the Red Centre Way
We can tailor make your luxury holiday to the Red Centre with a range of high quality and luxurious hotels to stay at and prebookable excursions to really make the most of your time here.
