Did you know that:
We are a Non Riding Operation!? That means your bum don’t get sore and no chiropractic care necessary!
Truthfully though, the reason we don’t allow riding on these treks is because we have seen that people get so much more from our trips, the camel bonding and outback when they walk. Plus the camels carry all our supplies because we trek without vehicle backup, just with the camels and the wilderness – SIMPLICITY at it’s best!

HOW LONG ARE YOUR OUTBACK CAMEL SFARIS?
5 days short!
WHERE ON EARTH ARE WE?
- We’re lucky enough to be trekking on Almerta Station, in the Southern Flinders Ranges, South Australia.
- Why did we choose this station out of the 100’s of other Stations (aka massive expanses of farming land) in Australia?
- Well, firstly we loved the name ‘Almerta’ because it’s native aboriginal language meaning ‘Pretty Place’ or ‘Running Water’. Running water in the outback? YEP! Another reason we love Almerta is the natural springs scattered around the station.

If you haven’t yet been to the Flinders Ranges in South Australia & had a camel trek experience, YOU’RE MISSING OUT! It’s seriously one of the TOP NOCH places to visit in Australia. Every time we work in the Flinders Ranges, we STILL (after 4 years) have our breaths taken away from the amazing scenery and its presence, it’s a bit magical!

- WHAT ABOUT THE CAMELS…?
- Ah, our beautiful and beloved, NON CANTANKUROUS big puppy dogs. We love them
so, and it’s guaranteed that you too will fall in love with them, everyone who
comes on our safaris does (sorry…! not sorry)…

- "Gentle giants with personalities each their own. Watching and
observing their ways in the desert, their ease and slow, steady pace with it
all was truly magic. The connection formed between each of us and our own camel
is something I don't think any of us will ever forget! What an amazing
journey!”

“My initial thoughts about what the camels: I thought they would have much more of a temperament, but I’m quite surprised in how well I was able to bond with the camels and how much trust they placed in me.
They are just such humble and majestic creatures!“

Our Aim....
- To be uniquely Australian.
- To be an experience like no other on the adventure market.
- To entice lasting positive memories.
- To encourage the ability to rediscover the inner self.
- To encourage the reconnection between nature and ourselves.
- To provide a pathway for a loving and awe-inspiring bond between the camel and the human to take place.
- To provide pathways for the expansion of knowledge about the camel and nature.
- To provide opportunities for camel expedition and trekking education.
- Most importantly, to create a community of caring, like-minded people who have developed a passion for the camel and are working on projects that are beneficial to those less fortunate.
We are happy to announce we have achieved this and we are totally committed to continuously expanding the base elements of Outback Australian Camels.

More Information:
We strongly recommend arriving at Almerta Station the evening prior to your camel safari for briefing. This ensures a smooth and full day of trekking for all participants of your safari. Please organise accommodation at Almerta Station through their website: http://www.almertastation.com.au
Please note: since we use the camels for pack transportation of equipment and supplies, a good level of fitness is required. It is expected that all participants should be able to comfortably walk a distance of at least ten kilometres per day. This is true expedition trekking at it's best.
