The Experience

Gunya Titjikala is the "ultimate authentic Indigenous experience" - being a guest within a remote desert Aboriginal community, 70 miles south of Alice Springs, Northern Territory, Australia. Itineraries are custom designed for our guests and intimate and exclusive experiences can vary from aboriginal art, culture, landscapes, dreamtime, 'bush tucker' or just sit down in the dirt with the locals and share cultures.

The accommodation chosen is ideal for the desert and consists of 5 deluxe safari tents perched on polished timber flooring 6 feet above sandy red dunes overlooking the wonders of the Simpson Desert, complete with private en-suite which includes free standing bath and 'eco' friendly flush toilet. Your deluxe safari tent has been extended to include your own private decking with panoramic views enabling our guests to enjoy a majestic desert sunrise and sunset.

Included in your tariff are three delicious gourmet meals personally prepared by the Gunya Titjikala's resident 'bush tucker' chef where western style dishes are fused with the local 'bush tucker' which include witchetty grubs and wild fruits and berries.

Go 'bush' with the local Aboriginal "traditional owners' on an exclusive day tour and learn the daily survival knowledge of the oldest living culture in the world. Visit amazing landscapes including the historic Chambers Pillar and on your return home collect your bush tucker that will compliment your gourmet evening meal.

You will only interact with local Aboriginals as the Joint Venture between Gunya Tourism and the Titjikala Aboriginal Community only employ local indigenous labour, ensuring a truly authentic cultural experience, not to mention 50% of all profits go directly the Titjikala Foundation which focuses on health, education, and school retention initiatives.

Gunya Titjikala provides an exclusive and unique cultural tourism experience within an authentic Indigenous community.

Gunya Titjikala enables our guests to learn the daily survival knowledge and culture of traditional aboriginal people during the day, while at night guests can retreat to their private and luxurious safari tent where they can relax in their hot bath whilst gazing at a clear and unpolluted night sky.

"This travel product can only provide a greater sense of purpose and respect for Indigenous traditions and culture" Mark Provost, Managing Director, Gunya Tourism.
