Where: South Australia’s ancient Flinders Ranges
Duration: 4 days / 3 nights
Distance: 45km (28mi)
Grade: Moderate

The Arkaba Walk crosses 600 million years of geological history in the Flinders Ranges and the Elder Range, located in the private Arkaba Conservancy in South Australia. You’ll spend two nights in luxury wilderness camps under the night sky (or within sheltered bush huts if you prefer) before indulging in one night in the gracious, fully restored 1850s Arkaba Homestead. Enjoy cold drinks and canapés as the ancient red rocks glow at sunset. The walk experience package includes a one-way flight from Adelaide to the Flinders Ranges, returning through the winery region on the final day.

Wild Bush Luxury

Arkaba is a member of Great Walks of Australia and is one of Australia’s bucket list walking experiences.

Set against the backdrop of the Elder Range and Wilpena Pound in the heart of the Flinders Ranges, The Arkaba Walk is an opportunity to experience the sights and sounds, the scale and space of outback Australia in a style that is exclusive and authentic.

Operating from mid-March to mid-October, The Arkaba Walk is a three day moderate graded guided walk that provides walkers the opportunity to immerse themselves in the remote wilderness of the awe-inspiring Flinders Ranges of South Australia.

Led by our experienced field guides, guests will gain insight into the region’s wildlife, conservation efforts and cultural heritage along the way. Instead of traditional camping, your small group will sleep in comfortable bush camps, enjoy gourmet fresh chef-prepared meals complemented by local South Australian wines, and spend the last night at the Arkaba Homestead – a Luxury Lodge of Australia.
