This
is a small group, safari camp based tour for 2-6 people per vehicle.
You will sleep in permanent, large 2 bedroom platform tents with
queen beds and private facilities at the superb new Kangaluna
Camp - see pictures below where you will see that the tents are
set well apart from each other.
The Gawler Ranges are 600km to the north west of Adelaide on the
Eyre Peninsula. The terrain is diverse, changing from
arid to semi desert and back while the ancient volcanic
landscape is spectacular with its gorges and weathered rocky
outcrops. In spring the area comes alive with flowers.
Bird and animal life is prolific, with the chance to get
close to sea lions and dolphins.
A shortened 2 night/3
day version of Sealions, Dolphins and Outback Experience is
also available. |

| General Information about
Sea Lions, Dolphins and Outback Experience ... |
This tour begins in Port
Lincoln on the Eyre Peninsula and you will need to book flights between
Adelaide and Port Lincoln and Ceduna and Adelaide separately or we can arrange it for you. (See below for Local Flight Details
from Adelaide ...)
Safaris are conducted in air-conditioned first rate 4WD vehicles, fully
equipped and in the care of experienced safari operators.
The tour does not involve strenuous effort but always bear in mind that
summer temperatures my well be very high in outback areas.
During the winter months, only the very hardy will wish to actually swim
with the sealions but it will still be possible to encounter them at
close quarters from the shallows!

abundant wildlife around for viewing on a walk in the
