Red Centre Birding

In the centre of the Australian outback lies the town of Alice Springs. Surrounded by a variety of habitats and iconic destinations such as Uluru (Ayers Rock) and Kata Tjuta (the Olgas), it is a great area for a few days’ birding.

Using Alice Springs as a base, the Red Centre Adventure will take you through a variety of habitats in search of many exciting bird species. We take daily trips out to different areas targeting enigmatic birds such as Dusky Grasswren, Rufous-crowned Emu-wren, Spinifexbird, Grey Honeyeater, Chiming Wedgebill, Western Bowerbird, Spinifex Pigeon, Painted Finch and maybe even Grey Falcon…!

Birdwatching in the Red Centre of Australia

It’s a small group birding tour of like-minded people (max. 8 participants); all-inclusive, fully guided, departing from and returning to Alice Springs. There’s no ‘roughing it’ on this tour and we’ll be staying in comfortable en-suite accommodation.

July – September is the perfect time to explore the outback as the weather is generally mild. Expect to see around 150 species, including many of the local specialties, some great scenery and a comfortable trip mostly on sealed roads. Click below for the full itinerary and checklist!
