Kimberley Private Tours

In addition to our regular small-group Kimberley Tours, we also specialise in Kimberley Private Tours. These exclusive journeys are designed for travellers who want a more personalised, flexible and intimate experience of Australia’s last great wilderness.

A private Kimberley tour gives you complete control over how you explore this extraordinary region. You can choose to follow the same highly refined itinerary as our regular departures, or we can tailor the journey to your exact preferences. Many guests request changes such as upgraded or different styles of accommodation, extended time at favourite locations, additional helicopter flights over the Bungle Bungles or Mitchell Falls, cultural experiences with Traditional Owners, or a completely custom itinerary that focuses on specific interests such as photography, wildlife, hiking or simply relaxing in remote private camps.

Because we have been operating in the Kimberley since 1997, we have built strong relationships with pastoral stations and Aboriginal communities. This allows our private groups exclusive access to spectacular private campsites that are closed to the general public — places most visitors never get to experience. Whether you prefer the classic adventure of camping under the stars or more comfortable lodge-style stays, we can design a trip that matches your preferred level of comfort and adventure. Our Kimberley Private Tours are built around this unique access and deep local knowledge.

Vehicle Options for Your Private Kimberley Tour

We offer a range of vehicle and travel styles to suit different groups. One of the most popular choices is a hosted self-drive private tour. In this format we supply fully equipped late-model 4WDs (complete with camper, fridge and double bed), and you drive your own vehicle while following our experienced guides in a small convoy. This gives you the freedom and independence of driving yourself, while we handle all the planning, navigation, food, camping logistics and local knowledge. You still enjoy access to all our exclusive private camps and the same high standard of guiding and support that our regular guests receive.

Larger groups, families or those who prefer not to drive can opt for a fully guided private charter, where our team provides the vehicles and drivers. We can also combine elements — for example, some guests drive while others travel in a support vehicle. The beauty of a private tour is that almost everything is flexible.

Ideal for Families, Couples & Special Groups

Kimberley Private Tours are particularly well suited to:

Families who want a multi-generational adventure with flexible pacing
Couples seeking a romantic and exclusive experience
Groups of friends who prefer to travel only with people they know
Travellers with specific timing requirements or special interests
Anyone who values privacy, flexibility and a completely personalised itinerary

Group sizes can range from just two people up to larger private parties. We work closely with you to create a trip that feels uniquely yours while still delivering the authentic Kimberley adventure we are known for.

A More Affordable Alternative: Kimberley Tagalong Tours

If you love the idea of travelling in your own fully equipped 4WD and accessing our private camps, but don’t necessarily need a fully exclusive private group, we recommend looking at our Kimberley Tagalong Tours. These operate in a very similar way to a private hosted self-drive tour — you drive your own vehicle in a small convoy led by our guides, we take care of all logistics and meals, and you still enjoy exclusive private campsites. The key difference is that you share the convoy with a small number of other like-minded travellers, which significantly reduces the cost while still delivering a high degree of independence and adventure.

Many of our guests who initially enquire about a private tour ultimately choose a Tagalong departure because it offers an excellent balance of privacy, freedom and value.

Let’s Design Your Perfect Kimberley Adventure

Whether you are looking for a fully customised private itinerary or simply want more flexibility than a standard departure, we would love to help. Every Kimberley Private Tour begins with a conversation about what matters most to you — the places you want to see, the style of travel you prefer, and the kind of experience you hope to have.
