There will be photo opportunities at the Kata Tjuta viewing space and a visit to the cultural centre where informative and interactive displays give insight into the cultural and spiritual meanings of Uluru and Kata Tjuta.
Mala Walk & Kantju Gorge
Once at the foot of Uluru you will then be guided on a gentle walk to learn the history of the Mala people via cave paintings and other relevant sites important to both Anangu and early explorers. At dusk, witness Kantju Gorge’s walls ablaze with light as the sun sets and then enjoy sunset drinks and canapés in the solitude.
Table 131°
