Tasmanian Walking Company will launch a world-first, a five-day guided walk inside the grounds of the World-Heritage listed Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park.
Developed in consultation with Anangu Traditional Owners, the Uluru-Kata Tjuta Board of Management and Parks Australia, the all-inclusive experience will unite two of the world’s greatest natural wonders, Uluru and Kata Tjuta.
When the Uluru-Kata Tjuta Signature Walk launches in 2026 it will provide a unique five-day experience that combines learning about the world’s oldest living culture with the experience of one of Australia’s most recognisable natural wonders.
Small groups of up to 14 will spend five days and four nights inside Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park learning about ancient Anangu culture and history, connecting with nature, and staying exclusively in environmentally sustainable accommodation.
Tasmanian Walking Company co-owner and respected tourism leader Brett Godfrey, whose nine-year journey to bring the 54km walk to market, describes the experience as “a desert journey into the heart of Australia and a trail that unites two geological icons, Kata Tjuta with Uluru.”
The multi-day experience starts in the shadows of Kata Tjuta’s giant dome formations and arcs east, traversing an extraordinary landscape along remote desert trails, cresting red dunes, and through mulga woodlands. Over five days, there are workshops in Dot Painting, lessons in land management practices, and daily three-course meals, many under night skies lit up by stars from the Milky Way.
For most of the journey, visitors will trek in full view of the two rock formations, both remnants of millions of years of Earth’s history. Carrying only a day pack, they will stay in spectacular eco-sensitive retreats and be guided by the knowledge of those who have walked the land for tens of thousands of years before them. The ultimate destination is Uluru, a geological wonder deeply associated with Aboriginal culture and intrinsically etched into the Australian identity.
The five-day walk will also create a platform to promote the Northern Territory’s ancient culture in Central Australia and drive direct and indirect employment opportunities for the local Anangu community.
The Uluru-Kata Tjuta Signature Walk commences in April 2026 and marks the second offering in the Northern Territory for the Australian Walking Company, after the company launched the Larapinta Signature Walk in 2022.
