Uluru Camel Tours

Climb aboard a gentle giant and experience the Red Centre from a completely different perspective—the back of a camel. Uluru Camel Tours offers a unique way to explore the desert landscape around Uluru and Kata Tjuta. As you sway along ancient camel tracks, your guide shares stories of the region's history, culture, and wildlife. Whether you choose a sunrise or sunset ride, the colours of the desert are unforgettable, with the iconic monolith glowing in the changing light.

Highlights & What to See

• Sunrise or Sunset Camel Ride – Watch the sky ignite over Uluru and Kata Tjuta from a camel's perspective, with photo stops at prime viewpoints.
• Desert Ecology Walk – Learn about native plants and animals, including how they survive in this arid environment, often combined with a camel ride.
• Farm Visit – Meet the friendly camels up close, learn about their history in Australia, and even pat them before your ride.
• Outback BBQ Dinner – Some tours include a bush tucker-inspired meal under the stars, with stories of the land and its traditional owners.

Suggested Time to Spend

Allow 2–3 hours for a standard camel ride, including safety briefings and time with the animals. Sunrise tours start early (around 5–6 am depending on season) and last about 2.5 hours; sunset tours are similar in duration. If you add a farm visit or dinner, plan for up to 4 hours. The experience is relaxed and paced for all ages.
