You've probably seen camels on television, or perhaps you have seen the in the zoo? With those funny looking humps and very long tongues!
How about RIDING one! Pyndan Camel Tracks is the ONLY tour operator in Alice Springs! (Did you even know camels existed in Australia? True fact - they do!)
Depending on the number of people that are on the tour, you can have a camel to yourself, or you might have to share. Of course, you get to choose who you share with though! The very experienced cameleers will have to choose who sits from or back though.
It really is for any age though! Even kids under 3 can ride, but they have to ride on the parents lap. Parents, don't worry - it's very safe for kids!
Each camel have their own names, and own personality, so you can be matched to a camel that is perfect for you.
With Pyndan Camel Tracks, you can choose from the one hour tours, which will take you at Pyndan Camel Tracks years and heads out to give you incredible views of the MacDonnell Ranges, through Temple Bar Gap. Kangaroos, wallabies, budgies, lizards and even birds of prey might even join you on your journey!
If there are more than 8 of you, you can organise a half day your where you get to really understand the camels in more details, including a shady dry riverbed break.
Both tours with Pyndan Camel Tracks offer free transfers from your accommodation if you need!
So how do you like it - one hump or two!?
If you have a car and don't need picking up, it's really easy to find them. They are at 21259 Jane Rd, which is about 17km fSW of Alice Springs.
Drive south on the Stuart Hwy towards Adelaide or the airport. Go through Heavitree Gap, and turn right after 3km into Ilparpa Rd.
After 10km, turn right onto Jane Rd. Look for the Pyndan Camel Tracks sign on the corner of Ilparpa and Jane Roads. They are the second driveway on the left. It takes about 20 minutes from town.
