decades; as traditional owners of the land they feel a deep responsibility
for everyone who travels to the area. In 1998 we were among the
first tour operators to stop climbing Uluru The Intrepid Group are
proud to be involved with local communities in Uluru and to have
an ongoing commitment to providing employment for the Anangu people.
You show respect when you choose not to climb Uluru, but walk with
Anangu throughout the area and share their stories instead.

use sun protection and drink plenty of water. In the evenings temperatures
really drop, so bring base layers and warm clothing. •This trip

allowing you to really get among nature. Please bring sturdy, comfortable
walking shoes and comfortable clothing. •On most days of the trip,
you’ll spend several hours driving through very sparse areas of
desert. Crank up the tunes and sit back to enjoy landscapes that
you would miss in any other form of travel. •Group participation
makes up a lot of this trip, so you'll be required to help with
preparation of meals and cleaning up. These are the kind of tasks
that bring a group closer together.
