The Spiritual Heart of Australia
Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park
Let us take you to Australia’s spiritual center, where the heart of the outback beats. The Red Centre in the Northern Territory is rich in Aboriginal Culture and rugged outback beauty. We will place in a lodge like no other - facing majestic Uluru (also known as Ayers Rock), your lodge commands spectacular views of the outback icon and World Heritage listed wilderness of Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park.
An intimate fifteen luxury tents, elevated atop rust-red dunes, complement the pristine natural environment and provide a private place to rest, relax and refresh. In the crisp, white linen of a king-sized bed, find the serene, silent sleep of the desert. Above the sweeping tent canopy floats a great expanse of Southern sky, endless and sparkling. Go on an intimate, guided tour and experience the remarkable changing colours of the desert landscape and the spectacular sight of Uluru and Kata Tjuta at dawn. As day breaks over Australia’s heartland, the guide discusses the history of this unique area, including the plights of early explorers and their interactions with Anangu, the traditional owners of this spectacular wilderness.
With a greater understanding of one of the world’s truly ancient cultures, guests walk around the base of Uluru and see for themselves the sites which are so sacred to the traditional owners.
A walk into the Mutitjulu waterhole offers each guest a unique insight into the sheer physical and spiritual enormity of Uluru. During the walk, the guide will point out cave paintings and other relevant sites important to Anangu and the early explorers. A light breakfast awaits you at the Talinguru Nyakunytjaku viewing area before continuing on to the Cultural Centre to learn the cultural and spiritual meanings of Uluru and Kata Tjuta.
