“To be the pre-eminent supplier of 4WD Adventure Safaris in northern Australia and to exemplify world's best practice ecotourism in Australia's Rainforests and Tropical Savannahs.”
"Further, the company will operate in such manner as to be "a good industry citizen" proactively contributing to the tourism industry and community within its resources, to be financially sustainable and to strive at all times to earn a reputation of which all employees can be justly proud.”
Equipment and Safety
Our special purpose safari vehicles are selected and developed to suit the particular demands of each tour or safari. All are air-conditioned with fabric covered forward facing seats, excellent visibility, sound system, Royal Flying Doctor Service HF radios and/or Satellite Telephones, First-Aid kits, tools and recovery equipment.
We use Mercedes Benz, Australian made 4WD OKA and 4WD Toyota vehicles. Each vehicle has no more than 13 passenger seats assuring our guests of safe comfortable adventures in small personal groups.
Importantly, our equipment and Guides are backed-up by fail-safe systems designed to guarantee quality, consistency and security … no matter which safari you are on or which Guide is assigned to you.

Accommodated Safaris
A 4WD safari without camping is just the thing for those who want to get away from it all and experience Australia’s fascinating Outback in relative comfort.
Our accommodated safaris use old bush pubs, remote roadhouses, cattle stations, guesthouses and wilderness resorts for a great variety of Outback experiences, and to meet real Outback people.
4WD adventure and fun … without camping!
Camping Safaris
Our extended camping safaris will satisfy your yearning for “The Great Outdoors”. Comfortable camping uses large pyramid style fully zippered tents and “state-of-the-art” 100mm thick velour covered self-inflating mattress and fitted sheet.
Menus, recipes and purchasing are centrally controlled to guarantee a consistent standard of high quality meals. Dinners are prepared using traditional open fire campoven cooking while continental style breakfasts and salad or barbecue lunches provide a great variety of appetising and nutritious food.
