Wilpena Pound ~ Ikara Safari Camp

If you’re a couple, looking for the ultimate Flinders Ranges outback experience, then why not consider glamping at Ikara Safari Camp. Located in Wilpena Pound, in the heart of South Australia’s outback, it’s the perfect getaway for couples or families.

The glamping tents are equipped with their own toilet and shower, as well as heating, power and your own little deck. The tents are conveniently positioned so you can enjoy the views of the ranges.

Discover the Outback

Enjoy one of the many walks, 4 wheel driving, a scenic flight or just simply relax and take in the views. One particular spot we recommend is taking a drive to Razorback Lookout. I’ve heard that sunrise and sunset are amazing times to photograph the scenery. Take a moment to marvel at the incredible landscape, as it really is beautiful. While exploring this area is probably best done with a four wheel drive, normal vehicles are okay too, but you’ll just need to take your time on the somewhat bumpy and rocky dirt roads.

The Experience

It’s no doubt the winter months will be cold and the tents rattle and bang during windy nights, it’s the perfect time of year to rug up and enjoy the camp fire. The resort sells wood to help get you started. Once your fire is burning, why not toast some marshmallows or cook a meal the old fashioned way….wrapped in foil and watch the sunset. If you’re an avid photographer, try your hand at some night photography and capture the Milky Way. The Ikara Safari Camp offers a unique glamping Flinders Ranges experience!

We really enjoyed our first glamping Flinders Ranges experience at the Ikara Safari Camp and we’ll definitely be back to explore the ranges again sometime soon. Photography by Blush & Pose Photography.
