:: Attention (special conditions)
for the Darwin to Broome Safari Touror reverse

The Darwin <> Broome 8 Day 4WD Safari has unique temperature, activity, and operational considerations not experienced elsewhere in Australia. The Kimberley is one of the most isolated, remote places in the world. It doesn't have the usual comforts and options of our other touring areas. We think this lack of conveniences is the REAL reason to visit this area and is what makes it so special and memorable for a lifetime. This tour is suitable only for FIT AND ACTIVE people. Most people traveling on this trip are aged 18-50. It is not suitable for children. Do you meet our criteria? - I can hike 5-9kms a day over uneven terrain un-aided - I am prepared and able to walk in high temperatures and humidity - up to and more than 35 degrees Centigrade and 90% humidity everyday.

If you are in doubt please see this more detailed fitness and medical questionnaire about your abilitiesv
