Day 2

Enjoy breakfast at the Homestead before setting off for your day's adventure. Today we recommend a guided walk exploring shady Arkaba Creek, where you'll witness how the ancient creek lines carve their way through Arkaba’s landscape and spot plentiful birdlife, including galahs, honeyeaters and parrots. After lunch, enjoy the undulating hills of the ancient alluvial soil as you continue along Elder Range ridge tops before climbing Arkaba Hill and finally descending back to the comfort of the Homestead. Today's suggested walk is approximately 14 km (5-6 hours).

Your Arkaba activities are recommended and may be tailored to your preferences on request; please advise your journey designer in advance so we can customise your experience.

Day 3

Following breakfast, explore the wildlife and landscape of Arkaba Conservancy and learn of the benefits it has brought to the Flinders Ranges. Pass undulating terrain of acacia and she-oak groves, and permanent water sources that are an important life source for native kangaroos, emus, parrots and other local wildlife. Return to the Arkaba Homestead in time for a bush-inspired late lunch, and enjoy some time to put your feet up this afternoon before another wonderful sundowner drinks and dinner. Today's suggested walk is 14 km (5-6 hours).

After an early breakfast prepared by Arkaba’s chef, your guides will lead you into the breathtaking valleys and ranges of the Ikara-Flinders Ranges National Park.

Following the Wilcolo track you'll explore some of the more remote sections of the park and take in views of the ABC and Heysen Ranges on your walk. The wildlife viewing opportunities continue today with a chance to spot the rare yellow-footed rock wallaby that is endemic to this region. Today's suggested walk covers 11 km (4-5 hours).

After lunch, your driver will continue to The Louise, one of the Luxury Lodges of Australia, and your base for the next two nights. This evening, meet and mingle with fellow guests over pre-dinner drinks and canapés, served in the lounge as the sun sets over the valley vineyards before sitting down to a gourmet dinner at The Louise's award-winning restaurant Appellation.
