Rising abruptly out of the red sand and spinifex, Uluru (Ayers Rock) and Kata Tjuta (The Olgas) dominate the surrounding landscape, both physically and spiritually. Situated in the World Heritage Listed Uluru-Kata Tjuta National park, these internationally recognised icons fascinate and inspire people from around the world.
The region holds a deep spiritual significance for the traditional owners, the Anangu people. For those wanting to learn more about this ancient and timeless living culture, opportunities are available to interact with the custodians of this truly amazing region.
Anangu guides lead walking tours around the base of the Uluru, sharing stories, bush food and discussing the symbolism of the various rock art sites. These walks provide a rare insight into how Anangu people have lived, and continue to live, in this arid environment.
A dot painting workshop with local Aboriginal artists willing to share their knowledge of traditional desert art provides a rare insight into this thriving industry that is capturing the world.
Sunrise and sunset are the best time to experience this magnificent monolith in all her glory. Watching the vibrant and vivid colours transform Uluru and Kata Tjuta, is the perfect time to reflect on the living cultural landscape of the region. And doing so on board a camel provides the best seat in the house.
Feel the freedom and exhilaration of riding through the National Park on a Harley Davidson – an unforgettable sensation. A scenic flight in a fixed wing aircraft of helicopter provides a breathtaking bird’s eye view of the striking rock formations.
Any visit to Uluru would not be complete without experiencing dinner under a canopy of stars while their very own storyteller shares the stories of the desert night sky.
Accommodation options include a luxurious wilderness camp in an intimate setting secluded from the main resort which offers a five star hotel, modern apartments, a contemporary 3½ star hotel to an outback hostel and campground.
With so much to see and do, Uluru is an awakening of the senses – a place that touches the mind, body and soul.
