The journey, in full
Accompany the Traditional Uluru Family to their homelands, called Patji, and spend time learning about the oldest living culture in the world. A unique and exclusive touring experience, Patji is located just outside Uluru–Kata Tjuta National Park, south of Uluru. Explore this extraordinary environment by 4WD with your Aboriginal guide, stopping along the journey to hear stories such as how Paddy Uluru fought for Aboriginal land rights and how Uluru’s status evolved over time. The Uluru Family will share their personal stories with you during this authentic cultural experience. Join them under a remote shelter to hear how they survived in this desert environment before tourism began in the region. Continue on to a private sand dune to view the vast desert expanse overlooking Uluru and Kata Tjuta. Winter Season (1 April – 31 October): 1 pm – 2 pm (depending on sunset) Summer Season (1 November – 31 March): 7 am
