Myself and my parents did the 3 day original Red centre adventure with an extra day added on the end to the MacDonnell Ranges. I have to say I wasn't expecting much from the NT as I had it down in my head as somewhere very empty and dull, but I ended up being absolutely blown away by the guides, service and all the facilities. The camping was fantastic: since we did the original version as opposed to basic, we were provided with beds and towels and linen. Other than being a little bit chilly, which was obviously to be expected given it was winter time, the beds were comfortable and warm enough and everything was very clean.
The camp food was cooked by camp hosts and everything was very high quality, there was plenty of it and given the limited space and cooking facilities they had to work with as well as the number of people to cater for, I think they did an excellent job.
The operation of the trip was faultless - there was a lot of driving involved but we made sufficient stops along the way for toilets/snacks etc. I absolutely loved everything that was planned for us to do, from the sunset at Uluru, sunrise walk and King's canyon rim walk. I learned so much just in the 4 days I was there. The guides were particularly wonderful and deserve a special mention -
We had Jerome and Claire T and both of them went above and beyond to make sure everyone was safe and happy and enjoying themselves. Honestly can't rate them highly enough. Both spoke to you as if you were a friend and made an effort to get to know you and learn your name, which sounds like such a simple thing but made all the difference. They were patient and considerate and both assests to the company.
Overall a fantastic experience and would urge anyone even just thinking about visiting the NT to go for it. 11/10
