I can thoroughly recommend Adventure Wild.  All questions and concerns before the trip were answered promptly and patiently making it evident from the start that this is a very professional boutique tour group, passionate about introducing guests to the Kimberley.

The itinerary was well thought out, including all the main places of interest, and a number of two night stops ensured that we were not rushed but had time to relax and to thoroughly absorb the amazing landscapes.  Ours was the final trip of the season and, as warned by Adventure Wild staff, it was very hot but there were always options along the way so that we could pace ourselves to be comfortable. A non-swimmer, I found myself ‘swimming’ in stunning gorges, billabongs, rivers and the clear waters of Lake Argyle.

Full marks to our two exceptional leaders, Gools and Thommo, for their skilled driving along endless rutted roads, their thorough organisation and attention to every detail including matters of hygiene, their background facilitation in moulding us into a cohesive, fun loving team, and their patience and sense of humour.

My appreciation for the Kimberley landscape and its people, (indigenous and more recent) was greatly enhanced by the knowledge, insights and storytelling  particularly of Thommo.  We were thrilled to be taken to an ‘undiscovered’ area of rock art.  Gools, with Thommo’s assistance, produced deliciously healthy meals in the camp kitchen. She also managed to remain amazingly calm and level headed when a huge king brown snake joined us after dinner one night!

The tour is over but the memories and impact on me of my time in the Kimberley will live on.
