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
Dear Simone and Karl
Thanks to both of you and Carmel and Mark I have enjoyed the trip of a lifetime.
Your pre-tour service was excellent…nothing was left to chance. I also appreciated your generous offer to purchase my drinks due to my late arrival in Broome the evening before we began our tour. Thank you again for taking that trouble.
The pace of the itinerary was just right for me and I appreciated the opportunity to take on as much or as little as I wanted within the schedule. The content of the itinerary was incredible taking in many of the places that I have long wanted to experience. While the Bungle Bungles were a highlight, Windjana, Bell, Emma and Darngu gorges were also exceptional.
I loved the meals…best camp food ever. I was really impressed with the variety, quality and freshness. Carmel seemed to effortlessly produce the next meal whether it was on the road or after a long day driving or walking and there was always plenty of it. The lunches were great and the evening meals were incredible…not to mention the variety of puddings. Mark certainly knows how to cook fish and steak (and he makes a mean damper).
The campsites were amazing. I especially appreciated the fact that we stayed two nights at most of the sites. The tents were great and generally the facilities were clean and adequate. Some, such as, Home Valley and El Questro were outstanding but every site had its own particular charm; if the facilities were basic then the location more than compensated for the minimal amenities. Your private camp site was a clear winner perfectly scheduled for the last night.
Carmel and Mark were fantastic tour guides. They are a great team. I was particularly impressed with their knowledge of the history of the area, including the Aboriginal culture. They demonstrated a passion for the birds and other wild life as well as the vegetation of the area. They had the happy knack of creating a perfect setting with drinks and nibbles to compliment the beautiful sunsets on the Pentecost River, looking across to the Cockburn Range and the lookout across to the Pentecost Ranges. Their sense of humour was delightful and their ability to front up every day with such positive and caring attitudes was impressive. They were particularly attentive to any special needs and offered assistance whenever required (a helping hand on the tricky walks and rolling the odd swag etc.etc..). In other words they were awesome.
Overall the tour was excellent value for money and met all my expectations and more. It is obvious that a lot of organisation, planning and fine tuning of every detail has taken place because it really works well.
Thank you all again for a very memorable trip and I will be spreading the word.
Warm regards

The reason we chose a guided tour was that given the vastness of the landscape of the Kimberley it would be easy to miss the best it has to offer.
Our trip with Adventure Wild ensured not only that we saw the best, we also did so in a logistically comfortable way.
Our guides Phil and Liz, had the uncanny knack of keeping us on time while having fun. They managed the different personalities with consummate ease.
Safety was considered and adhered to in every aspect; Phil’s careful driving, Liz and Phil’s care for us all on our walks and the food hygiene practices were beyond reproach.
Phil and Liz’s knowledge of the Kimberley’s was remarkable and provided an educational experience for us all.
Thank you to Phil and Liz; Adventure Wild and our wonderful travel companions.

Hi Karl & Simone,
Well before our tour commenced you helped us become well informed & we thank you for your considerable help with the planning stages.
Then the magic began, from the glowing oranges of Windjana Gorge, the stunning scenery along the way, the walks, refreshing water holes, the sunsets, the serenity of our last night camped by a billabong. There was great camaraderie among our fellow travellers, chatting around the camp fire or getting stuck into the chores were fun & special moments. Mark & Carmel were a wonderful couple, creating many a fabulous & healthy meal & keeping us informed & entertained along the way. Lending a helping hand to any who needed assistance on the walks, as did Helen after hurting her ankle toward the end of our Manning Gorge walk. Fortunately it was a minor sprain & with some timely first aid from Carmel she was soon able to participate again.
I broke my glasses on day 3 & by a stroke of luck, Marks spare reading glasses served my long distance vision fine & helped considerably with my reading. Talk about giving me the “shirt off his own back”. Both Mark & Carmel lent a helping hand to every one when it came to rolling up our swags & through their efforts had us packed & ready to roll in record time without having to “Crack the Whip”. That got us to be near enough to being first on the scene on a number of occasions. Almost having Zebedee Hot Springs entirely to ourselves was pure bliss. Another delightful moment was having champers, cheeses & dips atop a hill overlooking El Questro Gorge as the sun dipped toward the horizon. I’m sure the few other travellers there were envious of our group.
Well done Mark & Carmel & the Adventure Wild team, this was a holiday that will reside in our cerebral cortex, pleasant memories segments for many, many years.

We would just like to say a huge thank you for the professional service and high standard of tour provided by Adventure Wild. Your point of difference from others is the life experience and wisdom your tour guides bring to the role and also the slightly longer tour length which ensures that there is no rushed feeling.
All communication with Adventure Wild was incredibly efficient and nothing was ever a problem – a joy to deal with. Thank you
The permanent camp sites were great. We particularly enjoyed the last night where we were our own exclusive group on the bank of the river – such a beautiful spot.
Quality of the meals was exceptional. There was always good variety and ample quantity – no one went hungry!!
Liz and Phil were exemplary guides. They generously shared their vast knowledge of the Kimberley, attended beautifully to the individual needs of the tour members and were incredibly well organised. Overall they made this trip incredibly memorable.
We had a fabulous time and some very special memories to take away.
Thank you again

The pre tour communication was very informative. Simone was very helpful and accommodation.
We were in awe of how well planned the meals were. Liz and Phil did a great job of catering to our tastes during the tour. There was always plenty to eat and a great variety across all meals.
Phil and Liz were born to do this job, they were amazingly patient, extremely informative and genuinely passionate about sharing The Kimberley with us. We cannot praise them enough.
A BIG thank you to all at Adventure Wild for providing such a great service. I cannot think of a better way to see the Kimberley.
Cheers

Thank you to Phil and Liz for making our trip a memorable one. As tour guides you both were brilliant. Nothing was too much trouble. Your knowledge and information of the plants, animals and history of the area makes for a very interesting tour.
The hygiene of everything you did, given the conditions was amazing and you ensured all participants maintained good standards.
The quality and quantity of the food was fantastic. No one went hungry.
Having pre erected tents made it so much easier and we all got used to rolling our swags which were very comfy.
People who are interested in doing this type of tour need to have a good level of fitness as the hiking is at times difficult but very do-able.
The organisation from beginning to end was superb.
We were very impressed with Phil and Liz and would not hesitate to recommend Adventure Wild to anyone thinking about this type of adventure.
Thanks to everyone concerned in putting the tour together. We had a great group of people.
Thanks

I never thought I would get to do this but they made it so easy for us.
Thank you.
I would happily recommend your company for travelling in the Kimberleys, and especially Phil and Liz. Great guides.
The roads were somewhat challenging but Phil handled them well.
Thank you for a memorable holiday
Great trip with great leaders, Phil and Liz – competent, caring and compassionate.
Our experience with Adventure Wild and the Kimberley will stay with us forever. Thank you so much.
Thank you also for sending the brochures. We will be spreading the word.
