Experience the Outback Like the Pioneers

Camels played a vital role in shaping Australia's outback, helping to build the infrastructure that connected remote regions. Their history is deeply woven into the story of exploration, trade, and survival in the harsh desert landscape.

As the booking agent for the Outback Camel Company, we offer you the chance to step back in time and traverse the vast Australian Outback just as they once did. This is slow travel at its finest—disconnect from technology, soak in the breathtaking desert scenery, and find space to think.

Want to dive deeper into the fascinating history of camels in Australia? Watch this incredible documentary:

Robyn Davidson, famous for her solo expedition across the west Australian deserts by camel in the 1970s, presents this documentary telling the story of Australia's camels and the people who brought them here.
