Group participation makes up a lot of this trip, so you'll be required to help with preparation of meals and cleaning up. These are the kind of tasks that bring a group closer together. Group sizes can also be pretty big, so be prepared to share this experience with a bigger group than what you might be familiar with.
Temperatures in the Red Centre can be extreme. During the day the weather can be very hot (and the Australian sun is very strong) so please bring appropriate clothing, use sun protection and drink plenty of water. In the evenings temperatures really drop, so bring base layers and warm clothing.
This trip requires a moderate level of fitness as it involves a lot of walking, allowing you to really get among nature. Please bring sturdy, comfortable walking shoes and comfortable clothing.
On most days of the trip, you’ll spend several hours driving through very sparse areas of desert. Crank up the tunes and sit back to enjoy landscapes that you would miss in any other form of travel.
Camping out in the open may not appeal to some people, although a proper bed, linen and electricity are provided.

Breakfast under the stars, the sunrise walk around Uluru followed by a walk with an indigenous guide was one of the highlights. The other was the Kings Canyon walk. The tour leader and camp hosts worked hard to deliver this memorable experience.

This was an excellent and convenient way to see the Norther Territories. The website is not very good in clarifying that this was in fact 2 entirely separate trips, with different participants and guides, and a flight in between. The experience can differ between those legs - for instance, I had a much better experience on the second leg.
