Camel Riding in Australia


Explore the deserts on a trusty outback trekker

In order to best experience the outback, you can’t get a much more authentic means of transportation than by camel. Ideally suited to hot, dry climates, camels are a great means of outback transportation, used mainly to tour regions of the Australian desert. Although each state and territory in Australia offers trekking, rides and touring on these self contained creatures, camel rides are best suited to the outback tracks of the dusty deserts in Western Australia, South Australia and the Northern Territory.
