What is the arkaba walk?

Flinders Ranges Arkaba Walk 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 Flinders Ranges 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 April to mid-October, Flinders Ranges 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 first and last nights in our new purpose-built Eco Cabins (from May 2027).

Why choose the arkaba walk?

Flinders Ranges Arkaba Walk provides a comfortable and immersive experience with all inclusive dining, snacks, drinks, walking gear, backpacks, amenities and more. Accommodation is inclusive of two night’s camping in cosy outdoor bush camps and two nights in a purpose-built Eco Cabin with private ensuite facilities.

What sets the Flinders Ranges Arkaba Walk apart is the expert guidance you receive throughout the journey. Knowledgeable and passionate guides lead the way, transforming your walk into a true learning adventure.

By joining one of our fully-hosted, all-inclusive walking experiences on the private wildlife conservancy, you’re witnessing the stunning revival of an environment. You’ll see and hear the results of active conservation as you walk through the landscape and meet the wildlife in the company of passionate field guides.

Signature bush camps

Our Intrepid philosophy brings a team of passionate guides and a few key creature comforts to an immersive bush experience.

While the Flinders Ranges Arkaba Walk embraces the spirit of outdoor adventure, it doesn’t compromise on comfort. Our bush campsites feature comfortable sleeping arrangements, hot showers and delicious meals prepared by skilled camp chefs.

As you relax at your campsite, you’ll be treated to stunning sunrises and sunsets, with the backdrop of the Flinders Ranges’ iconic red rock formations. You’ll also enjoy a good night’s sleep in our new purpose-built Eco Cabins and in cosy swags under the starry outback sky.
