Peoples Choice Questions - What is the difference between
a tour and a safari in Australia
• What is a camping tour in Australia?
• Luxury camping: A term that varies betweens tour operators.
We generally say this to be the best camping facilities of the tours
that particular tour operator has to offer. This will have campsites
with hosts and cooks. The meals will be not be fine dinning but
better quality than basic camping. The tents will be slightly bigger
with beds frames, pillows, mattresses and linen. Some will have
lights and fans.
• Bush camping: Generally - no facilities other than those that
are carried on the vehicle. Passengers sleep in swags (Aussie bedroll).
The tour will stop along the way at roadhouses for clients to have
a shower etc. or swimg in waterholes and gorges.
• Permanent camping: Generally - have permanently erected tents
(multi-share), permanent cooking facilities and purpose-built fire
pits, screened eating areas, share showers and toilets.
• Semi permanent camping: Generally - tents must be erected by
guide and passengers, share showers and toilets, no cooking facilities
except those carried on the vehicle.
• Basic camping: Generally - tents must be erected by guide and
passengers, share showers/toilets or some/all nights no showers/toilets,
no cooking facilities except those carried on the vehicle. (Specified

facilities change.
