10 Top Tips for Outback Tour Travel from Spirit Safaris
This page and video introduces 10 Top Tips for Outback tour travel from Spirit Safaris. Your enjoyment and safety will benefit by checking this out. Spirit Safaris have been outback touring for near 30 years, and these unique helpful hints are intended to make your outback tour adventure more enjoyable.
For best photos bring a Black or Dark shirt to wear in light aircraft to minimise reflection on windows.
Kimberly early season from May catches greener grasses and fuller waterfalls but maybe some rain & road closures. Mid May / June to early September are optimum times for weather.
Bring old shoes (sneakers or crocs) for watery walks like through Tunnel Creek
Bring a good headlight torch, spare batteries & USB cable – You’ll be amazed how handy they are.
Pack up early for an early start – wildlife are out early to catch the early worms & avoid the days heat.
Mobile Phone coverage is slim. Telstra works best but virtually no coverage in the Kimberley, except public or our on board satellite phone.
Bring an extra plastic bag for wet swimmers or shoes.
A broad brimmed hat & long sleeved shirts are better sun protection than chemical & heavy metal sunscreens
Look away from passing vehicles to protect eyes and face, as stones often fly.
Take sensible strong shoes for some rocky dusty walks and sandals to relax.

Covid-19 clear update for small group tours was released this week and means Spirit Safaris can now help you escape lockdown and take a holiday in NSW and other states as borders open.
Following extensive discussions and correspondence with Transport NSW, the restrictions on public gatherings of more than two people do not apply to Spirit Safaris as providers of passenger services in NSW.
Now this means we can operate with more thantwo people in the vehicle at one time.
This is IDEAL for PRIVATE GROUPS OR SMALL GROUPS OR FAMILY GROUPS OR COUPLES – SEE TOURS BELOW ..
Our very comfortable GXL Toyota Landcruisers carry 2 – 4 adults or up to 7 for family groups. Our off-road ready minibus is ideal for groups up to 11, and we can convoy vehicles for larger groups
The guidelines suggest social distancing should be practised where possible, including advising passengers to sit in the back seat only and using only contactless payment methods.
We have COVID clean practices in place and look forward to discussing and welcoming you on board some of our amazing Outback NSW tours
COVID-19 CLEAR UPDATE FOR SMALL GROUP TOURS – from NSW HEALTH
From Monday 1 June 2020 in NSW certain restrictions have eased (note many state borders are still closed) :
Call us on 1300 763188 or 0417244600 or email info @ spiritsafaris.com
Background info –
We are given these guidelines –
“We can run a full tour bus, but until there is a vaccine for the virus, we have to be extra vigilant with cleaning and keeping records of pasesengers. The virus is considered to be in a “social bubble”. This concept is more about contact tracing than social distancing. #1 priority is to keep records about who is on each tour so that in the case of an outbreak, everyone who has come into contact with an infected person can be contacted and isolated for 14 days.
During the tour, the tour group as a whole are considered a social bubble. The people within that social bubble can be as close to each other as they like, but they need to distance themselves from people who are not in the bubble. Eg. they must stay at least 1.5 meters from anyone on another tour. Your guides are going to have to give a very clear briefing on this and keep reiterating it when the group are entering a situation where they might be around another tour group. Encourage clients to avoid touching surfaces that are shared with people outside of the group when safe or practical, and encourage them to use hand sanitizer when boarding the bus or rejoining the group.”
