WOW…..Oh My Goodness…..WOW! 🚍⛺🐂🐃🦎🚁🐊

I have just returned from the 12 day Broome to Broome Safari Tour 17 departed 27 June 2018, via The Gibb River Road with wonderful tour guides Mark and Carmel.  I am exhilarated, exhausted and extremely content.

Pre-tour communication by telephone and email with Karl and Simone was most re-assuring.  The speed of return emails in answer to my questions was a hallmark of the friendliness and efficiency that continued throughout the entire tour.

The Argyle Diamond Mine is running out of Kimberley diamonds but two will remain forever ♦️Carmel and Mark♦️ our amazing Tour Guides.  They are fabulous representatives of Adventure Wild;  extremely knowledgeable regarding plants, birdlife, all Kimberley wildlife, the history of the stoic pioneers, the history of the wondrous rock formations and mountain ranges and the history and status of the huge stations. I cannot speak highly enough of their dedication to ensure all on tour have an awesome and informed adventure.

Carmel and Mark do all the meal preparation and produce fabulous, substantial, deliciously healthy meals three times a day; as well as morning, afternoon teas and pre-dinner quality nibbles.  Mark’s damper is just soooo good. Yums!  And…..who would expect chocolate self-saucing pudding cooked on the coals of the campfire served with icecream and cream. Delish.😀

Safety, hygiene and comfort for all on tour was caringly monitored by Carmel and Mark. 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. (Thanks Mark and Carmel for your expert help with my swag xx).  The sleeping bags give the 5 Star touch with their delightful silky linings.

Sitting around the campfire each night after dinner was wonderful – the camaraderie, sharing of banter, getting to know each other a little more, forming friendships and the ritual of “Yesterday, Today, Tonight, Tomorrow” was great fun.🤣. Gosh, I had such a good time.

The gorges, vastness, beauty and serenity of our amazing Kimberley has to be seen firsthand to truly appreciate how unique and special that land is.  Cathedral Gorge !!! Words and photographs cannot replace being present in this amazing natural wonder.

A very special and genuine thank you to Mark and Carmel for your unrelenting help, guidance and assistance to me during the more challenging walks and climbs.

Yes! Yes! Yes!  Indeed, it was a wonderful tour.  Such a happy cohesive bunch of fellow tourists.

Warmest best wishes and thank you one and all.
