Spirit Safaris

Small-group 4WD LandCruiser journeys, run by a family operator since 1993, thread deep into the Australian outback — the Kimberley, Lake Eyre, Cape York, the Red Centre, Karijini and the Simpson Desert. Trips carry as few as four guests per vehicle and mix accommodated stays with comfortable camping, folding in rock art, Aboriginal cultural connections, photography and wildlife. Departures link from Sydney and other capital cities, with the company based in Surry Hills.
