How this holiday makes a difference

Environment

All National Park entry and camping fees paid on this tour go towards the Department of Environment & Conservation’s work in maintaining and protecting the local environment. Kimberley Wild guides are experienced and keen to share their in depth knowledge of the local natural environment. Kimberley Wild follows Department of Environment & Conservation guidelines to promote environmental protection and rehabilitation.

We encourage appropriate behaviour and educate travellers to minimise their cultural and environmental impact. Kimberley Wild travellers are advised to stay on designated trails and paths to protect the surrounding country and are also discouraged from taking environmental ‘souvenirs’ (eg. rocks or shells) for both environmental and cultural reasons. Kimberley Wild operates 3 new Isuzu 800 vehicles, which meet EURO 4 Emissions Standards. They are fitted with 120 litre drinking water tanks to enable travellers to refill water bottles, rather than purchase new plastic bottles enroute.

Tour equipment includes re-usable plastic containers to avoid rubbish generated while in remote areas and no disposable crockery or cutlery. Torch batteries are rechargeable and glassware is avoided to minimise breakage risks.

Community

Accommodation on this tour is National Park or locally owned, including the award-winning indigenous-owned resort – Kooljaman. Enroute, we support locally owned & operated roadhouses and general stores, while meals on tour use ingredients supplied by local restaurants & caterers. On this tour we also support local tourism initiatives such as Mangkaja Art Gallery and Mimbi Caves, joining a local tour owned & operated by traditional owners from the Mimbi Aboriginal Community.

Kimberley Wild guides are trained in cultural protocols, especially when entering communities, and are sensitive to appropriate practices. Kimberley Wild is a member of Environs Kimberley and supporter of Minyirr Park.

1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your holiday?


Camping under the stars in Purnalulu National Park under the most amazing sky I have ever seen and being woken by dingoes howling and calling to each other in early morning. The wildflowers were everywhere. It was an amazing time to travel.

2. What tips would you give other travellers booking this holiday?


Make sure you are fit enough to do all the walks so you can get the most out of it. Some require a good level of fitness and scrambling over rocks and boulders. Take good walking boots/shoes. Be prepared to rise early 5.00am. You need to be able to fit in with and get on with a range of people.

3. Did you feel that your holiday benefited local people, and minimized impacts on the environment?


Yes. The tour operator was very environmentally conscious. We visited an aboriginal community and art gallery.

4. Finally, how would you rate your holiday overall?


It was excellent and very well organised. The tour guide had a excellent level of knowledge of the area, aboriginal culture and flora and fauna which added to the whole experience. Meals were excellent - very fresh and nutritious.
