Wilderness Australia Safaris is a boutique safari company that takes each client's expedition dream and designs an individual itinerary to fulfil it. Guests often self-drive the trips, which are planned for them by a safari expert (who knows the routes intimately). At each stop, you are met by guides and hosts. Accommodation is handpicked and includes private lodges and bush camps.

No two itineraries need be the same and your South Australian encounter will reflect your interests and budget. For example, a six-day tour might start in Adelaide and visit selected wineries of the Barossa and Clare before heading to the wide expanses of the stunning Flinders Ranges. Guides can take you on walking treks over the Elder Range and explore the gorges and valleys of the Flinders Ranges and Wilpena Pound. From here, the Gawler Ranges beckon, where your guide will show you their great diversity including the white salt pan of Lake Gardiner and wildlife such as the hairy-nosed wombat.

Then it is on to Baird Bay for one of Australia's most fascinating wildlife encounters: swimming with young sea-lions and bottlenose dolphins. If you seek to escape the well-worn path on a customised itinerary, this is the ideal choice.
