What if I'm travelling solo?
What if I'm travelling solo?
The beauty of our style of travel is that it caters to travellers who are travelling solo and who want to meet and share experiences with like-minded people.
Rooming is organised on a twin-share basis. We pair up solo travellers with another traveller of the same gender.
We also have an optional single supplement available on most trips for travellers who prefer to have their own room. This will apply to all nights on the tour.

What should I pack
What should I pack
Due to limited vehicle space and strictly enforced road laws regarding weight limits, your main piece of luggage must be soft-sided and weigh no more than 15kg/33lb. You can also bring a day pack/bag to carry water, a camera, sunscreen, etc, when you’re exploring during the day. Please note that The Operator is unable to carry large suitcases, particularly hard/externally framed suitcases, as they are difficult to store and can damage equipment and other travellers' belongings.
Below are some essential and recommended items for this trip.
ESSENTIALS
Sleeping bag
Lightweight clothing. You will need to bring a mixture of lightweight clothing and layers. Long shirts and pants are useful to protect against the harsh Australian sun. Clothes should be easy to wash and quick to dry
Comfortable, sturdy, closed-in shoes. These will help to protect your feet from cuts and scratches when walking through bush/grasslands and will act as a protective barrier in the rare case of a bite or sting
Sun protection – wide-brimmed hat, sunscreen, sunglasses
RECOMMENDED
A spare pair of shoes that can get wet, along with two lightweight towels
A pair of slip-on shoes/sandals that you can carry in your day pack for riding the bus and casual wear
A headlamp or torch is recommended for around your accommodation at night
Sleep sheet. If you are travelling during the hotter months you may wish to pack a sleep sheet so you can be comfortable no matter what the weather
Seasonal sleepwear. It may get very chilly overnight in colder months, so ensure you have something appropriate to sleep in that can keep you warm
Ear plugs
Binoculars for spotting wildlife
VALUABLES
Try to avoid bringing unnecessary valuables. The Operator strongly recommends that you photocopy all important documents, e.g. air tickets, passport, vaccination certificate, etc. and keep the copies separate from the originals. While not valid, a photocopy makes it much easier to obtain replacements if necessary.
BATTERIES/POWER
Most of the trips have access to power to recharge batteries for phones and cameras every couple of days. There are some days when there is no power at the campsites at all. The Operator always recommends that you carry an extra battery or power bank for your phone/camera, just in case.
Your vehicle will be equipped with a 12-volt “cigarette lighter” socket, which may be used at the crew’s discretion. However, do bear in mind that only one piece of equipment can be charged at a time, and it will not be allowed if there is a risk of running the vehicle’s batteries low. Batteries may also be recharged from hotel room wall sockets. Hotels and campsites may have sockets for guests to recharge personal items.
WATER BOTTLE
Please bring your own water bottle to refill along the way. Although it can be difficult to avoid bottled water when travelling, please use the water dispensers which are provided on some of the vehicles and at some of the accommodation. Your leader will advise whether tap water is safe to drink in your destination. If it is, you can simply refill it with tap water. When unable to avoid bottled water, it is better to buy the largest available and distribute it into your smaller bottle for the day.

I have special dietary requirements – will they be catered for?
While travelling with us you'll experience the vast array of wonderful food available in the world. Your group leader will be able to suggest restaurants to try during your trip. To give you the maximum flexibility in deciding where, what and with whom to eat, only breakfasts are included in this tour price.
This also gives you more budgeting flexibility. As a rule, groups tend to eat together to enable you to taste a larger variety of dishes and enjoy each other's company. If you have dietary requirements and/or food allergies, please let The Operator know at the time of booking or prior to departure.
