Testimonial for Adventure Wild

Ed & Janine Browne

Year of Tour: 2019

Without a doubt and with absolute certainty…  Had we toured the Kimberley ourselves we would have simply travelled along the surface of its beautiful terrain.   The Adventure Wild itinerary/tour and our extraordinary guides, Phil and Liz (oozing with genuine warmth) took us deep into the Kimberley’s heart.

Their astounding knowledge of the geology; plants and wildlife; indigenous people, their art and communities; the history, local stories and their genuine love and passion for the region ensured we were fully immersed and engaged throughout the journey – this was gold.  Liz’s melodic, thoughtful storytelling kept us all entranced. Phil’s keen eye in the bush kept us all wide eyed with wonder.  Our minds are still blowing as we remember each day.

We watched in awe as Phil and Liz effortlessly glided us all through the marathon effort of providing a constant table of delicious, healthy, fresh (remarkable) food.  Attending to all our needs with unwavering patience and genuine care.  Navigating safely along the rough roads and water crossings and guiding our walking treks through the gorges, allowing us to soak it all in without any anxieties about getting lost or out of our depth in such a remote place.

Arriving ‘home’ to our white castles at the end of each day and the 2 night stay format was brilliant.  As were the hearty meals (and sweets – our 6th course each day!).   A nightly campfire.  Comfy swag.  Phil and Liz’s endless patience and seamless organisation allowed us all to sit back into their capable hands and soak it all up.  Pitching in was made easy and enjoyable due to the most organised and labelled kitchen on wheels and a well thought out and practiced routine that made cleaning up and packing down a breeze.

This was our first time on a group tour.  From the moment we booked, Simone and Karl were attentive, kind and helpful, guiding us through flights and extra tours.  We learnt a lot about the Kimberley but also some supreme organisational and customer service skills that has certainly earned the Adventure Wild team their ticks and awards.  Forever grateful for the brilliant experience.
