Arkaba Homestead, Flinders Ranges | Arkaba Homestead | Ultimate Travel Company

Occupying 60,000 isolated acres within Australia’s rugged Flinders Ranges, Arkaba is a quintessential 1850s Australian homestead. Housing only 10 guests, you won’t have to share this pristine wilderness with many others. Open-top jeep safaris and guided walks with expert field guides offer encounters with iconic Australian wildlife – including emus, red kangaroos, yellow-footed rock-wallabies and wedge-tailed eagles – whilst mountain biking and visits to Aboriginal rock art sites can also be arranged. As well as air safaris and helicopter rides for the truly adventurous.

When not exploring the mountainous landscape beyond, you can retreat to the comfort of your traditionally furnished bedroom where a shady veranda provides the perfect kick-back spot. The library also offers plush leather armchairs to sink into and a stone fireplace to unwind around, whilst dining takes place on the terrace with panoramic views over the Elder Range. Guests are also invited take part in the property’s conservation efforts, which focus on protecting the native wildlife from feral animals.

“EXPERTLY TAILORED, EFFORTLESSLY ENJOYABLE”
We travelled to Indochina in January/February with an itinerary designed by 91ºÚÁÏÍø – and it was spot on. Rob, our consultant, really understood what we were looking for and created a journey that suited us perfectly. The choice of hotels was excellent, and the pace was just right, with enough time built in to relax and recharge between the different experiences. The service throughout was professional, personal and thoughtful – exactly what you want from a travel specialist.

“FAULTLESS AND FUN”
We’ve just returned from a Danube cruise with Douglas Skeggs and Joanna Worsley, with a few days in Vienna beforehand – all brilliantly overseen by Emily. From meet and greet at the airport to every detail on board the Amadeus Cara, the organisation was seamless. We’re already looking forward to our next Escorted Tour with 91ºÚÁÏÍø.

“A TRIP OF A LIFETIME, PERFECTLY PLANNED”
Dear Claire, our trip was 100% amazing. We fell in love with Chile. I love how we were introduced to all of the different parts of the country. Our family was engaged in all of the fun from beginning to end. The lodges were just perfection. I wouldn’t have changed a thing. I really appreciate all you did to make our trip a trip of a lifetime.
