| About The Essential 6 Day Red Centre Tour | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Because of the high cost of maintaining hotels in an extremely remote
area, accommodation in the Red Centre is expensive and usually camping
in a large group is the only budget option available. However,
this great value accommodated 5 night/6 day tour
provides a civilised way of exploring all the highlights of the Red
Centre, with enough time to enjoy it without rushing. You will still
only be in a small group of a maximum of 15 passengers. If you haven't got 6 days to spare in your itinerary, check out The Essential 3 Day Red Centre Tour |
