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
Keith and I wanted you to know that we considered the trip one of the best trips we have ever done. Cauf & Adey made everything very easy for us both but me in particular. We honestly could not have experienced anything better. Attention to detail, menu etc were of the highest standard. Again, thanks for everything.

At last I’ve got myself organised and catching up on emails. Thought you might like these snaps to remind you of the BEST safari you have done!!!! We so enjoyed ourselves and want to thank you once again for giving us one of the best experiences we have had. We keep talking about all the fun we had and the spectacular places you took us to and all the fabulous meals. Just as well we did plenty of exercise as we were certainly well fed. We are noticing the freezing weather back here in Melbourne after the magnificent weather we enjoyed in the Kimberley. Hope the rest of your season goes well and you have some good groups. You are a terrific couple and we were so glad to be on your tour.
Thanks again for a wonderful time love

The letter says it all – your business is amazing, you are amazing as are Jools and Thomo It’s taken me a while to be able to sit down and minimise the feelings I have of the most amazing holiday I have had. The feelings I and so many of our members have in remembering those 7 days are just so deep with emotions – I talk to people about the isolation, the reality check one gets when out in the Kimberley, the trying to understand where we all fit on this earth, the reality that we are all integral in ensuring our environment is nurtured and respected etc. For me personally, Jools and Thomo provided me with a deep sense of thanks, but also opened up feelings deep within me which take me back to my childhood in the back and beyond of Broken Hill. I now have the urge to experience more of the Kimberley.

There are not enough words to express the amazing camping experience our members had in June of this year. From the pick-up point in Broome to our final destination in Kununurra, our hosts, Jools and Thomo, excelled in their attention to detail in all facets of the Kimberley in which we travelled. We all express our sincere thanks in the care you yourself provided to our Maggie (first mishap). The work you did behind the scenes was amazing and to see our Maggie flown in to our next overnight stay was a joy to behold! Thank you. The same applies to the understanding you showed Meg (mishap No 2). Again thank you, and also to both Jools and Thomo who not only ensured the rest of us were kept informed, but ensured our Kimberley experience would proceed as planned with lots of education, fun and great food.
Jools and Thomo are an amazing couple – they shared themselves amongst us all as if we had known each other for ever, and after just 7 days camping with them as our tour guides, we all feel as though we could just turn up at any time and be welcomed back into their realm. I am sure the majority of people who have them as guides would feel the same way. A personal note of thanks to yourself Simone – from my initial enquiry on behalf of our members, you were always been ready with quick responses to all my enquiries which made me feel comfortable in recommending your tour to our club.
Once again, many thanks Simone – there are some of us who would love to do the tour from Kununurra to Broome – so fingers crossed you will hear from us again at some time in the future.

We wish to congratulate you on the excellent Kimberley experience we had in July with ‘Adventure Wild’ led by Corf and Adey. Prior to the tour your rapid email response on queries was without equal. We enjoyed a great program of walks into gorges and opportunity to swim yet time to have leisurely morning teas and lunches along the way. The times chosen for the walks were good eg first group through Tunnel Creek in the morning and the last to Bell Gorge late in the afternoon. We enjoyed the relaxation at sunset venues ahead a great shared time around the campfire in the evening including advice on the program for the day ahead.
The meals were great, fresh and plentiful, with no dish repeated and attention to special requirements by Adey exemplary. Also fresh fruit and snacks to enjoy during the day. Amazingly a couple of extra requested items were incorporated as a surprise in addition to a few major surprises that delighted all. Corf paid particular attention to each person’s expectations of the trip and he and Adey encouraged a cohesive group experience.
Corf had a great way of including and involving those who were a little shy and on the hikes always seemed to be there when assistance may have been needed. The description of the geology and history of the area by Corf was very informative and interesting and his help with erecting tents and rolling swags where necessary, was also much appreciated. “Adventure Wild’ is the way to go.

I can’t believe that you are thanking us for travelling with Adventure Wild. It was one of the best experiences of my life. The organisation was amazing and Thommo and Gools were outstanding leaders. They were always around when we were clambering through gorges, swimming etc so we always felt safe. Gools’ cuisine was out of this world; it was as if a five star restaurant appeared each evening out of the dust. They had the knack of organising the whole operation, including packing swags, without ordering us around. Everyone was happy to chip in and help wherever needed. Their knowledge and love of the Kimberley was overwhelming.
Thanks again for all the work you put into making your company work so well.
P.S. I am attaching a “thing”. I’m not sure if you’d call it a testimonial.
Trip with Adventure Wild – 27th June 2014
From the first minute of this trip I knew I was going to have a great time. I had felt slightly apprehensive for a few weeks and even months leading up to the trip as I didn’t know if my fitness and the fact that I was an independent traveller would mean that I would not feel comfortable with the group. I had met Thommo and Gools at the expo in Sydney and so knew I would get on well with them. They have the ability to make everyone feel they are a part of the group. When they picked me up in Broome, there were already two other passengers on the “truck” and they were amazing people.
Even our first day was full of memorable events, such as walking through Tunnel Creek, and learning to deal with our tents and swags. The next morning we had an hour or so drinking in the atmosphere of Windjana Gorge, and by this time we really felt that we were in another world, the “Kimberley” world. It would take me many pages to recount the highlights of our trip, the scenery, the walks, the flights, cruises, wildlife, aboriginal art etc, but I would like to mention my fellow passengers. Our group bonded quickly and we all seemed to have something in common; everyone was committed to enjoying the adventure of the Kimberley. I think this had something to do with the advertising on the internet – Adventure Wild seems to attract a certain type of person.
Our drivers/guides/cooks, Thommo and Gools are outstanding leaders. They were fully capable of facing any situation, e.g. flat tyres, but they also have the knack of bringing out the best in people. I was the only person who got lost on the trip, but they didn’t make a fuss; they just came back to look for me. The price of the trip was slightly significant in my choice – it was about a third of what I would have paid to travel with other companies – but more important for me were the testimonials of past passengers. They all talked about the fantastic time they had had, travelling, walking, swimming and sitting around the camp-fire at night.I can’t think of anything negative to say about the trip. Even though I happened to get the biggest swag, “Durack” which could have caused me grief, this meant that I had a special rendez-vous with Jeffrey, a fellow passenger, every morning at 5.15, for a swag-rolling bonding session.
In conclusion, I wish to thank the staff of “Adventure Wild” for the amazing organisation, and Thommo and Gools for leading this memorable experience. They thought of everything, even including pegs and washing powder!

I had a great time with Adventure Wild. What made it so wonderful without doubt was the concern for and eye for detail of your two employees, Wayne and Cheryl. I mentioned that in my survey form however just wanted to reinforce how considerate and sensitive they were to all on the trip. Nothing was a problem for them and they were so encouraging. Their enthusiasm was contagious. We were very blessed to have them as our tour leaders. Thank you for keeping in touch with me.

Most of all we appreciate the personal touch you have succeeded in offering with each contact, it makes us feel we know you. My comment on the trip was “12 days of happiness”. Our fellow passengers were such a good mix and everything ran like clockwork by the amazingly capable and unflappable leaders, Corf and Adey. I almost feel reluctant to spread the the word as I give it such high praise that I doubt it will match up to expectations. Keep running the same and you will carry off all the tourism awards.
Many thanks.

My thanks to you for all of your assistance in helping me get myself organised for my trip. Your personal attention to all my requests was warmly appreciated.
I enjoyed a wonderful trip, love the landscapes, the hikes, the camping out, the camp fires, the helicopter flight, flight over the Mitchell Falls, the boat trips, the swims, THE FOOD, the company and certainly not forgetting our intrepid leaders, Gools and Thommo.
They ran a very well organised and efficient tour but always with an ease and friendliness that we all appreciated and loved. It would be hard to better the Kimberley landscape, and Gools and Thommo added a dimension that made this trip one I loved and will remember. I would appreciate if you would pass on my thanks to them.

We had an absolutely wonderful time in the Kimberley and definitely have many fabulous memories (including the early starts!!). Thommo and Gools were excellent hosts – professional and lots of fun at the same time. We were truly spoilt to be shown this beautiful region by a couple who are so passionate about it themselves.
Many thanks to you and the team for a truly memorable trip – yes it does make us smile!
