Safari Tours in Australia
/ Outback, Cities, Great Barrier Reef....
|
|
Safaris are becoming a more popular way to see Australia.
They offer a more unique experience than the basic bus tour and,
for many people, it is preferable than driving yourself. There are
areas of Australia that can be seen that you will not see by driving
yourself or by taking a regular coach tour. This concept is based
on the ages old safari concept originating in Africa.
|
An example of a company that really provides an
extensive safari experience is Jarmbie
Overland Adventures. If you really want to see the real Australia and what this
country has to offer, this type of safari is the way to go. Jarmbie's real benefit is their custom built 23 seat four
wheel drive vehicle that can take you to great places way
off the well worn tourist routes.

Of course the knowledgeable staff are a major asset and will
guide you on a unique tour that you will never forget. Stops
and sites along the way include the red hot Outback desert,
deserted beaches, national parks and cool tropical rainforests.
Some of the activities, other than site seeing, that are
offered include kayaking, mountain biking, sheep shearing,
scuba diving, horse riding, sailing and white water rafting.
