In Australia's far north we are lucky to have some of the finest wilderness areas in the world, stretching from Cape York's Pacific coast to the Kimberley's Indian Ocean shore. A vast land of amazing contrast and unimaginable surprise, with no less than five World Heritage listed areas. Wilderness Challenge will show you these diverse areas rich in history.
Experience the complexity of the Daintree Rainforest, the outback heritage of the Gulf Savannah, the vast wilderness of Cape York, the many faces of Kakadu or the grandeur of The Kimberley.
Family owned and operated, Wilderness Challenge offers a range of Four Wheel Drive (4WD) day tours and accommodated or camping safaris throughout northern Australia with scheduled departures from Cairns, Darwin and Broome. Your caring naturalist guides will share their favourite places and nature's wonders with you, while you enjoy the adventure and excitement of new experiences with a small group of like-minded travellers. Come with Wilderness Challenge to capture the emotion and romance, the tragedies and triumphs of Australia's amazing outback.
Wilderness Challenge operates accommodated safaris and camping safaris across the Tropical Savannahs and Rainforests of northern Australia. A Wilderness Challenge safari is so much more than simply visiting these superlative natural and cultural Australian treasures.
