The Kimberley A WILD FRONTIER AN EPIC ADVENTURE PRE-RELEASE BROCHURE 2020 OUTBACKSPIRITTOURS.COM.AU
Welcome to the Kimberley A mind-boggling wilderness that’ll stay with you forever Special, unique, breath-taking. All the superlatives in the world still can’t do justice to the Kimberley. People who’ve been there will tell you this. They might also tell you how it keeps pulling you back; how it imprints something on your soul. A 4WD adventure through the Kimberley is undoubtedly the best way to immerse yourself in this magical region. Around every corner is something to behold; a rock art gallery, a rugged escarpment, a towering gorge teeming with wildlife. Sitting around the campfire in the evening, waking up to the call of exquisite birdlife; they’re all things that make a 4WD land adventure the most rewarding Kimberley experience. Outback Spirit has been operating adventures through the Kimberley for over 20 years. Our unique, hand-crafted itineraries showcase the region in a manner which is simply unequalled. Our exclusive safari camp, Ngauwudu, is the most luxurious tented safari camp in the Kimberley and provides our guests with access to the Mitchell Plateau and stunning Mitchell Falls. Above all however, it’s our guides who make the difference. Expert knowledge, extensive experience and a passion for the Kimberley ensure the adventure of a lifetime is a reality for all our guests. With much of the Kimberley’s fragile environment and precious wildlife under threat, we’re also proud to be major financial sponsors of Australian Wildlife Conservancy (AWC). Travel with us on selected Kimberley adventures and you’ll see first-hand the tremendous work that AWC does in the field with a visit to Mornington Wildlife Sanctuary. We invite you to come aboard and discover the Kimberley with the experts in 2020. Andre & Courtney Ellis Brothers / Founders / Owners
