The Details

From Adelaide, it’s a 40-minute flight or fourhour drive to Arkaba ( arkabaconservancy.com). Nightly rates start from about US$710 per person, full board, for a minimum two-night stay. More active guests will want to consider the conservancy’s 45-kilometer Arkaba Walk, an immersive hiking experience that includes two nights at a swag camp and one at the Homestead, with guiding and transfers from/to Adelaide (one way flying, one way by road). Available from March through October, it costs from US$1,790 per person, twin share; see arkabawalk.com for details.
