Welcome to
the Kimberley
A mind-boggling wilderness that’ll stay with you forever

Special, unique, breath-taking. All the superlatives in the world still can’t do justice to
the Kimberley. People who’ve been there will tell you this. They might also tell you how
it keeps pulling you back; how it imprints something on your soul.

A 4WD adventure through the Kimberley is undoubtedly the best way to immerse yourself in
this magical region. Around every corner is something to behold; a rock art gallery, a rugged
escarpment, a towering gorge teeming with wildlife. Sitting around the campfire in the evening,
waking up to the call of exquisite birdlife; they’re all things that make a 4WD land adventure the
most rewarding Kimberley experience.

Outback Spirit has been operating adventures through the Kimberley for over 20 years.
Our unique, hand-crafted itineraries showcase the region in a manner which is simply unequalled.
Our exclusive safari camp, Ngauwudu, is the most luxurious tented safari camp in the Kimberley
and provides our guests with access to the Mitchell Plateau and stunning Mitchell Falls. Above all
however, it’s our guides who make the difference. Expert knowledge, extensive experience and a
passion for the Kimberley ensure the adventure of a lifetime is a reality for all our guests.

With much of the Kimberley’s fragile environment and precious wildlife under threat, we’re also
proud to be major financial sponsors of Australian Wildlife Conservancy (AWC). Travel with us
on selected Kimberley adventures and you’ll see first-hand the tremendous work that AWC
does in the field with a visit to Mornington Wildlife Sanctuary.

We invite you to come aboard and discover the Kimberley with the experts in 2020.
