"Continuing the Legacy: Ride, Walk, or Lead in the Timeless Tradition of Camel Caravans."
​
Welcome to Australia's last trekking company that allows guests to ride camels, continuing the time-honoured tradition of camel riding that dates back centuries. Like the grand caravans of the past—whether it’s the epic journeys of Lawrence of Arabia or the Queen of Sheba's majestic procession into Jerusalem—our treks capture the spirit of adventure and connection to history.
​
Equally integral to this tradition is the opportunity to walk alongside the caravan, as countless generations have done, guiding camels laden with goods across vast distances to sustain trade routes. For those seeking an even deeper connection, the immersive ‘Cameleer Experience’ invites you to step into the role of a modern-day cameleer—learning how to care for, handle, and lead these remarkable animals on your journey with Camel Treks Australia.
​
Highly regarded as the 'Gift of God' in many cultures, camels symbolise travel, journeys, wellness, wisdom, endurance, survival, service, self-sufficiency, conservation, and stamina. At Camel Treks Australia, we embrace these values and invite you to continue exploring our website. Perhaps you’ll be inspired to embark on a journey with us and create your own story within this timeless tradition.
"Explore Your Way:
Camel Riding, Bushwalking or Cameleering?"
Discover the Outback: Ride, Walk, or Immerse as a Cameleer
​
Whether you seek a leisurely exploration of the Outback, breathtaking scenery, or a truly unique and unforgettable experience, camel riding, bushwalking, and the Cameleer Experience are ideal ways to connect with the land and its history.
Camel Riding
Camel riding offers an age-old adventure, leaving an indelible mark on those seeking a touch of excitement during their holiday. This traditional mode of transportation has gracefully crossed vast distances for centuries, offering a one-of-a-kind perspective of the rugged Outback landscape.
Bushwalking
Walk alongside our camel caravans and experience the Outback in a way only walking can provide.
Bushwalking allows you to connect deeply with your surroundings, experiencing the subtleties of the terrain step by step. With guidance from our experienced cameleers, walkers will identify plants, tracks, and scats while gaining insights into the region’s unique ecology. It’s a steadfast approach to discovering the rugged beauty of Outback Australia.
The Cameleer Experience
For those seeking a fully immersive and hands-on adventure, the Cameleer Experience offers a rare opportunity to step into the life of a modern-day cameleer. Participants will work closely with the camels and senior cameleers, taking part in grooming, saddling, shepherding, and leading camel strings over varying terrains. This option is physically demanding and requires good fitness, teamwork, and a willingness to embrace the unique challenges of cameleer life.
​
It’s an intense yet rewarding experience, offering unparalleled insights into the bond between cameleers and camels. To ensure it’s the right fit for you, we encourage you to review the full details on our Cameleer Experience page​.
​
For those who decide this immersive experience is more effort than anticipated, there’s always the option to switch to the bushwalking experience either before arrival or during the trek itself.
