We were surprised at how comfortable the swags were, appreciated the fact that we didn’t have to unpack and put up tents at each site.
Judy & Steve Lukacs
The tents, sleeping swags and locations to camp were great. I had the best night sleeps!
Jen, Joe & Jack Previtera
The campsites were always clean, well maintained and located in picturesque surrounds. Being in the outback is the best! The tents are clean and spacious and even the swags are cosy. The sleeping bags give the 5 Star touch with their delightful silky linings.
Jenny McKenzie-Murray
Our tented accommodation left nothing wanting and our bags, swags, sleeping bags and water bottles kept us comfortable and warm.
Denis & Shirley Ranger
Great trip. The fixed tents, swags and sleeping bags were clean, warm and comfortable.
Jos Benner
To be honest I was a bit concerned how I would go not being a camper or very fit. But once I started I was happily surprised that I was able to do all the walks and not miss out on seeing anything.
Rebecca Lingam
The camping experience was great. Having the tents already set up makes life very easy and the swags with sheets make for a fairly comfortable night. We enjoyed sitting round the campfire and chatting and playing games many evenings.
Meryl & Glenn Jackson
The camping experience was great fun and campfires at night added to the experience.
Steve & Connie Calderwood
G&T [never did get that introductory Gin and Tonic] – Gools and Thommo went above and beyond the call of duty to give 14 of us a perfectly run and fun filled “Gorgeous” tour of the Kimberley. We got to lots of wonderful Gorges and the Gorged ourselves on surprisingly delightfull meals for the whole twelve days. Despite my occasional whingeing about 6am breakfasts – the early starts always proved wise as we were generally leaving the key sites before the other buses and SUVs loomed into view – yep, had the hot springs and many a billabong to ourselves.
We could all live without the deeply rutted Gibb River Road but in the end those bumps and shudders rivet the whole experience into one’s memory forever. As they say no pain – no gain.

Thank you Liz and Phil for our amazing trip of the Kimberley.
Your love of the area, and passion for sharing your knowledge with all of us was obvious to us from the beginning of the tour
As first time campers, we had some concerns about how we would enjoy the experience, but we shouldn’t have worried, we loved every moment of it. The tents and swags were comfy, bathrooms were great (my favorites were the ones where I could look up at the sky as I showered) and the food that you provided from such a limited kitchen were delicious. The chats around the campfire at the end of each day, whilst a scrumptious dinner was being prepared each evening were memorable.
The Gibb River road is an amazing drive, stunning scenery and I’m glad we did it with the skill of such a careful driver as Phil. Our walks to the spectacular gorges were a highlight for me. The lure of a plunge into a cooling gorge pool was always inviting, and having 2 guides meant that even if you stopped for photos of the amazing area, you were never left, or pressured to walk at a pace beyond your own.
Liz and Phil, you are such wonderful hosts and a fabulous team. You approached everything with such joy and calm. You did everything you could to ensure that everyone had the experience that they wanted, without missing out on anything. Nothing was ever too much trouble to you.
I had a great trip and enjoyed the second half more than the first half. Both Mark and Carmel were exceptional and displayed care and kindness especially needed as we were unescorted as orginally planned.
Thanks again.
Thank you Judy for showing me the Kimberley through the expertise of Adventure Wild. The BEST holiday! Our hosts were thoroughly professional and their knowledge of the history, botanical and geographical features and the fauna and flora made for the complete package.
After the ‘fog’ (!!!!) had initially upset our much anticipated Horizontal Falls trip, Simone presented us with so many other options, nothing was a problem, including Karl’s ‘Cook’s Tour’ of Broome. I will, and have already recommended Adventure Wild and G.O.T. to all whom I speak.
All the little extras that Carmel and Mark very creatively wove through our itinerary, meant so much. I was one of the problem children with a dietary issue, that Carmel ingeniously overcame. I appreciated the special effort, thank you, especially with your having to sort all the other meals as well. The laughs, the jokes, and how everyone pitched in, will contribute to a memorable holiday. Who will forget Mark’s ‘T.T.T.’ chats? The scenery, the aboriginal art, great meals, characters, campfires, the light aircraft extras (that tried to put the Kimberley landscape into some sort of perspective) the Kimberley massage (hope it shook off some weight)….. the whole experience exceeded my expectations.
Our hosts were so well organised, sometimes making itinerary refinements to enhance our enjoyment of this magical region. One of the highlights must be the champers overlooking El Questro property and the Pentecost River, and the scone stop at Ellenbrae. With these thoughtful extras and great organising it made for a fabulous trip….I cursed the early mornings but as the day unfolded, it was totally necessary to fit it all in!
Loved the last night at our private camp on the cattle station. I wish we could have had two nights, even if we did nothing the next day. All of the campsites had good amenities, the Kununurra site was quite noisy from the trucks and we had a loud serenade all night but that couldn’t be helped. I still giggle at the sound of zippers; it was a hoot!
The kaleidescope of Kimberley colours from vivid greens, golds, reds, ochres, and those turquoise blues, have certainly inspired this artist’s pallet and for several canvas projects.
Well done to all those involved. I hope Mark and Carmel enjoy a well deserved holiday!
Cheers.
Hi Simone,
I would also like to congratulate you and your company on a beautifully run Adventure Wild tour. I absolutely loved every aspect of it and will recommend it to every one I talk to. Mark and Carmel made it so special. The camping, meals, organization, treks, camp fires and daily adventures will stay in my memory forever. I have made so many new friends.
I have learned so much about our big, wide, wonderful country, thanks to your company. Keep doing what you do as you do it so well. I also loved the extras e.g. helicopter rides and small plane trips, my bucket list is being fulfilled (and maybe added to).
Hi Simone
We have just returned from our Adventure Wild 12 day Kimberley adventure. It was wonderful – exceeded our expectations! Our hosts Gools and Thommo (aka Cheryl and Wayne) were exceptional. They clearly love their work and working in the Kimberley region. They are both very knowledgeable about the region – was also great that they shared the driving, especially along the Gibb! They ensured that everyone in the group felt comfortable doing all of the outdoor activities and the fact that Gools lead most of the walks (at a fast pace) but Thommo was at the rear (following and assisting) the slower walkers meant that we never felt pressured to go beyond our own comfort level/ability. And the food!!! Fantastic meals- way beyond what I was expecting to have on a camping trip! The only thing I won’t miss is the sound of the tent zippers at various hours of the early morning.
Thank you also for answering my many questions and emails prior to our trip – your prompt and detailed replies made me feel very confident that we would have a wonderful adventure.
Hi Simone,
Although we have been home a week or so we are still basking in the memories of our wonderful trip in the Kimberlies with Adventure Wild. Each day was an adventure offering different landscape, history, local stories as well as challenges for us travellers. There were certainly many big WOW experiences too many to mention but we will also remember the little things like a warm shower at the end of the day underneath the moon and stars and the companionship around the campfire.
Our experience was enhanced I am sure by the passion and commitment of our guides Thommo and Gools have for this land. We could not have asked for better guides. They were so generous with themselves and worked tirelessly to ensure we had the best of times. We will not easily forget the food Gools dished up nightly surprising us with cuisine from all over the world. What a treat!
We have done a lot of travelling over the last 10 years with a number of tour companies and would rate our experience with Adventure Wild as one of our best ever. Thank you to everyone involved in making this such a memorable holiday adventure.
Have just arrived home from the most wonderful experience of travelling in the Kimberley and experiencing The Gibb River Road. Hosts Carmel and Mark deserve 11 out of 10 for this trip. Adventure Wild were wonderful in every way and could not be faulted. Would recommend it to anyone, you will not be disappointed.
A truly wonderful experience and one of the best holidays we’ve ever had. Whilst we’ve ticked touring our ‘back yard’ off the bucket list we’d do it again at the drop of a hat.
Simone & Karl kept us informed from our very first contact and the pre-tour info ensured that we were well prepared for the adventure.
Mark & Carmel are brilliant hosts and their passion for the outback shows with their wealth of knowledge and their ability to share that knowledge in an all-inclusive way made the trip immensely enjoyable.
Whilst Carmel and Mark cooked up magnificent and varied meals every day all of us thoroughly enjoyed pitching in to setup camp and to help with the ‘chores’ that never really seemed like chores anyway. Mark’s daily TTT summaries (Tomorrow, Today, Tonight) were great and every single day was a new adventure with amazing sights and experiences.
We must also say that our travelling companions were a great bunch and we all got on extremely well.
Again, an absolutely fabulous, awesome, wonderful, magnificent trip – thanks to all at Adventure Wild and our travelling companions.
Dear Simone
I have just returned home after being on perhaps one of the best trips ever due to the expert guidance of Thommo and Gools!!
Nothing was too difficult and their attention to detail was second to none. They are highly intelligent,articulate and passionate about their work. Thommo and Gools have set the bar very high.
It was an absolute pleasure being part of their tour.
