Australia's Aboriginal Heart

Witness the majesty of Uluru, an iconic landmark amidst the vast landscapes of the Red Centre

Set in Australia’s remote Red Centre, Uluru is one of the country’s most iconic and spiritual destinations. Rising dramatically from the desert plains, it’s a place of extraordinary beauty and deep cultural significance. A holiday here is about more than sightseeing – it’s about connecting with ancient landscapes, learning from the Anangu people, and experiencing the magic of the Outback under vast desert skies.

Uluru Adventures

Holidays to Uluru offer a deep connection to Australia’s ancient landscapes and indigenous culture. At the heart of it all is Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage site where the red earth and endless sky make you feel like you are in another world.

Holidays to the Red Centre

A guided walk around the base of Uluru is a must, with the opportunity to gain insights into Anangu culture and the rock’s spiritual significance. Sunrise and sunset are especially magical, as the colours of Uluru shift from ochre to deep red and purple.

Nearby, Kata Tjuta (The Olgas) offers a striking contrast, a group of domed rock formations with incredible hiking trails like the Valley of the Winds walk, perfect for active explorers.

Luxury stays in the Red Centre

For something truly special, Longitude 131° is the ultimate place to stay. This luxury desert camp offers tented suites with views of Uluru from your bed, curated dining and personalised guided experiences. Alternatively, families in particular might prefer relaxing poolside at Sails in the Desert, a family-focused hotel resort a short distance from Uluru.

When to visit Uluru

The best time to visit Uluru is from April to October, when cooler temperatures make it ideal for exploring the landscapes and enjoying outdoor activities. In contrast, the summer months from December to February can be extremely hot, with temperatures often exceeding 40°C. Activities are still possible during this time, but they’re best enjoyed early or late in the day. If you’re heat-sensitive or travelling on a family holiday to Australia, it’s worth trying to avoid the peak summer months.

Holidays in the Outback

Whether you're after cultural discovery, Outback adventure or a moment of calm in the heart of the Northern Territory, Uluru remains an unavoidable and unforgettable stop on any Australia itinerary.

I have just returned from the most amazing trip to Tanzania, booked with Far & Wild. Everything went so smoothly from the first time I spoke with them. The planning was great, the itinerary was perfect for us, and the lodges were amazing. We spent 10 nights with an amazing guide, travelling through Northern Tanzania and even got to see the migration, which was a lifetime ambition of mine. This wasn't our first safari, so we were nervous as to how it would compare, but it was spot on. We're particularly grateful that she suggested a private 'bush lunch' in the Ngorongoro Crater as the public picnic spot was very busy! I will certainly be using them again to book our next trip....we're thinking of a relaxing beach stay next time to get over the excitement of safari!

Just back from another amazing F&W organised trip to Namibia with the family (8 adults). Having been there before, Alistair tailored our trip to include our favourite locations and added a new one for us, Okonjima Plains camp, which we loved.The quality of accommodation and guiding, activities, food and drinks was exceptional throughout. Although not inexpensive I felt it was good value for the level of luxury we had. Kwessi Dunes, Shipwreck lodge, Ongava, Okonjima with pit stops Windhoek (city tour recommended ), Swakopmund (Sandwich Harbour and Walvis Bay tour) and Grootberg lodge (best sundowner drive )

We had a wonderful trip to São Tomé and Príncipe - a small island nation in the Gulf of Guinea with paradise (almost empty) beaches and jungle forest. It was all well organised by Far and Wild and we stayed at Omali lodge at Sao Tome, then on Roca Sundy, and Sunday Praia at Principe - a great combination of different types of resorts/hotels. Omali is close to Sao Tome town with its colonial buildings, markets, hustle and bustle. Roca Sunday gives an old plantation experience and Sundy Praia a luxury beach experience. Very friendly (from time to time a bit slow) service, great fresh food, specifically if you like fish/seafood, vegetables and fruits (almost all sourced locally). Nice temperature between 23 and 30 degrees Celsius, nice swimming conditions. We really recommend this for those who want to experience a pristine destination with few other tourists and friendly and welcoming people. The islands also feel (and I believe are) very safe. At Principe, there are no dangerous animals, snakes or whatever, and it was great to be able to hike in the jungle without being very conscious of where to put your hands and feet. Go before everyone else does!

Back home again, basking in the joys of a superb safari. Every aspect you arranged for us, including linking up with Mack Air and Wild Horizons locally to transport us. The choice of camps, Camp Hwange in Zimbabwe and Muchenenje Safari Lodge in Botswana, was spot on and exactly what we had hoped for - ideally situated, comfortable, in good surroundings, and with excellent wildlife on the doorstep and throughout the wider country. The service staff in each looked after us very well, catering was excellent, and the game guides were professional, knowledgeable and helpful. The weather was, as usual for that part of the world, also good at the time of our visit. Blue skies and stunning sunsets. Warm but not too hot during the day, although quite cold at sunrise when viewing game. The viewing started. You made us happy, and we recommend you to similar safari enthusiasts with confidence.

Far and Wild went above and beyond to make sure my trip to Zambia was special. I would definitely recommend them and their services to anyone wanting to travel to Africa.

Lovely holiday at the amazing Almanara on Galu beach, a beach like no other. Far and Wild excelled themselves from beginning to end of our holiday in beautiful Kenya.... What a country!,

Wow! These guys are amazing. Can’t recommend them highly enough. Friendly AND efficient! Sorted out our trip (last minute and lots of different family member needs, sorry!) in record time and everything worked like clockwork. Trip of a lifetime to the Masai Mara. Will be back (and use F&W again!)!

It was a dreamy holiday on the Kenyan Coast - Far and Wild, their efficiency and professionalism allowed us to relax and be the happiest family alive !! We cannot fault them, their care and understanding of what we wanted from a holiday ensured we had the most memorable trip. We will be booking with them again for sure!
