More Details
Your luxury Outback safari in Australia begins in the Adelaide Hills at the stunning Sequoia Lodge, perched atop Mount Lofty and adjacent to Cleland National Park. This boutique adults-only luxury lodge offers exquisite dining, glorious views, and a myriad of ways to connect with nature.
From there, your Outback safari transfers you beachside to the pristine wilderness of Kangaroo Island and the breathtaking cliffside luxury of Southern Ocean Lodge. Dive into the prolific wildlife of this "zoo without fences", widely considered Australia's Galápagos.
Continue to the Red Center for discoveries around Australia's sacred monolith, Uluru, or Ayers Rock. The highlight of your two-night glamping experience at Longitude 131° is dinner at the coveted Table 131° where the ever-changing colors of Ayers Rock complement sumptuous outback fare and the blanket of desert stars above.
After exploring Australia's ancient heartland, your luxury Outback safari takes you next to one of the top five natural, cultural sites in the world: Mt. Borradaile. Within the living, breathing classroom of billabongs, wetlands, wildlife, and 50,000-year old rock art galleries of this Arnhem Land escape is the award-winning Davidson's Arnhemland Safaris eco-lodge, the ultimate viewing platform into Aboriginal Australia.
Then round out your escapades in the Northern Territory with two days at Bamurru Plains. This unique bush camp brings a touch of elegance to the remote Mary River floodplain wilderness. Experience "Wild Bush Luxury" at its finest here: traveling by plane, airboat, and 4x4 vehicle through the extraordinary wetlands, diverse wildlife, and rich cultural history of Kakadu National Park. Indeed, this is the second largest national park in the world and home to multiple World Heritage wonders.
The final stop on this unrestricted journey into Australia's hidden luxury lies west in El Questro Wilderness Park, a one million acre playground nestled in The Kimberley's untamed and unexplored frontier. A luxury Outback safari in Australia is simply incomplete without a stay at El Questro Homestead, a distinguished Luxury Lodges of Australia member hanging cantilevered over the Chamberlain Gorge. Personalization and panache coexist side-by-side here and manifest in the form of thermal Zebedee Springs soaks, gourmet dining under the stars, barramundi heli-fishing, and scenic flightseeing adventures over pieces of Earth rarely seen by man.
