Camel Ride Ayers Rock Route

Your Uluru camel rides follow a scenic route through the red sand dunes just outside Uluru–Kata Tjuta National Park, offering wide-open views and a true sense of the vast desert landscape. From the elevated vantage point of your camel, you’ll watch the dunes roll out toward Uluru and the distant domes of Kata Tjuta, with plenty of opportunities to pause for photos along the way.

The route is carefully designed to showcase the changing colours and textures of the Red Centre, particularly during sunrise and sunset tours. Along the journey, your cameleer shares insights into the local environment, pointing out native plants, desert wildlife, and explaining how this landscape has supported life for thousands of years.

Unlike walking or driving tours, the gentle pace of the camels allows you to fully absorb the surroundings – no rushing, no crowds, just the quiet rhythm of the desert and uninterrupted views.
