Unforgettable Alice Springs Desert Park: Outback Safari

Helpful and friendly staff, excellent cafe, very nice for our main activity day in Alice with informative presentations

An excellent desert park set out over a large area making it feel like you are really in the bush. The bird Avery’s are large and it’s wonderful to walk through and see the birds. The nocturne house is excellent and highly maintained. While we were there we saw the rangers cleaning and checking on the habitat. The bird show is the best. The birds are wild but know when the rangers have food. Great interpretation from the ranger on the types of. It’s and their natural feeding habits. The Survival in the desert show was very informative and lots of fun. The guide explained in detail about language culture, food and survival of the indigenous mobs in the Alice Springs region. There are other items on the program we didn’t get to do but all looked very interesting. Well worth the visit.

The park was an eye opener to the flora & fauna of the desert. We enjoyed the walk around exploring tge different exhibits, taking part in presentations and learning about the unique environment that is the Australian desert system.

We spent the day here as haven’t visited before. The exhibitions were great. We spent time with Jeromy who was wonderful in explaining the indigenous bushcraft. The walking tracks were easy to navigate. Stopped for lunch at the cafe, although a little pricey, the food was great. Well worth the money and a day well spent.

LTTS recommended I visit the Desert Park to learn about the local flora and fauna before I walked the Larapinta Trail. I was so impressed with this park, it was amazing. The birds and reptiles was really impressive. The cafe there was nice too.

Very educational. The exhibits were well presented and a nice easy walk between them. We caught the indigenous food talk hosted Jeromy. He did a great job of immersing us into his culture. I would recommend this tour to anyone visiting Alice.

The desert park was great, but Park Ranger Jeff made it even better! Thanks for all of the fascinating knowledge, fun facts and answering all our questions. Becs from Darwin :)

We thoroughly enjoyed our visit to the Alice Springs Desert Park today. The bird show was amazing. The talks about bush tucker and the bush medicine were so informative. There were lots of cute and unusual birds in the aviaries. The nocturnal room had lots of rare and endangered animals, and the place is doing a lot of work towards conservation of these species. The food in the cafe was of a higher standard than I expected too. We were there all day!

We took our friends travelling with us here as we've been before and loved it. Set out on a few acres you can wander around the different landscapes and view the animals in thier natural habitat. There are lectures on creatures at several locations. The birds of flight show is a must. Check times of shows so you get the best visit. The cafe serves great food and the souvenir shop has a huge range. We chose the morning as it was not too hot.

The bird show and teachings about how aborigines survived off this harsh land with meagre surroundings for their medicine,food and tools.
