'Tag Along' with the Gypsies

We usually cover about 300 kms a day (190 miles) on a combination of approved bitumen, sand, and dirt tracks. Each vehicle is provided with a UHF(CB) radio; we also carry an EPIRB (electronic positioning indicating radio beacon), a Royal Flying Doctor Service Radio and a satellite phone. Unless otherwise specified, all safaris begin and end in Perth.

Catering

Most tag-along-tours are self-catering, or 'participatory' catering. For reasons of convenience, value, quality of food and group dynamics (dinner is a real social event!), we strongly recommend the participatory catering option.

For a small additional cost of just $40 person per day ($20 a day for children under 16) we'll do all the menu planning and the grocery shopping and supply three delicious and nutritious meals a day plus morning and afternoon tea along with quality crockery, cutlery and catering equipment - we just ask that you help with the food preparation and washing up.

Because we tow a custom-designed 4WD catering trailer - a special kitchen on wheels - meals can be prepared quickly, professionally and hygienically. We also cater for special tastes and dietary requirements.

Accommodation

All clients are required to attend a compulsory Pre-Departure Workshop where we discuss safety issues, departure details and basic 4WD skills, and inspect private vehicles. The workshop is usually held the day prior to departure for overseas/interstate visitors, and a week before departure for local residents.
