We recently returned from our Kimberley Adventure with Mark and Carmel, and it’s difficult to find enough superlatives to describe the experience. The pre-trip information from Simone and Karl was comprehensive and much appreciated. Thank you – we felt fully prepared.

The pace of the tour was perfect, even for those of us who’ve reached the 70 year milestone. Catering was beyond expectations and I’m still raving about Mark’s camp oven chocolate pudding! The fact that he and Carmel could maintain the standard and variety of food for 12 days is testament to their commitment to the job.

They were not just “tour guides”. They felt like travelling companions and confidantes who displayed a caring presence at all times. They had the knack of noticing when some of us faltered a little on the more strenuous hikes. For the 12 days their energy was boundless.

From start to finish the itinerary was perfect. Mark’s humorous “tomorrow-tonight” sessions around the campfire were great fun, and ensured we were all well prepared for the next day’s activities.

Some campsites at first seemed quite rural and basic to us coastal dwellers, but all turned out to be one of the positive experiences of the tour. There was great camaraderie among the group, as we shared the chores to ensure everything stayed on track.

Every day there were highlights to enjoy and remember. We are so glad we chose “Adventure Wild” to experience the Kimberleys while still fit enough to fully appreciate its rugged, majestic landscapes.

A very sincere thank you
