Stay longer - Do more
Take your time.....
“Seeing wildlife successfully is all about taking your time, finding the right location then settling down to enjoy the experience.” says Roger Smith, Echidna Walkabout’s Operations Director.
Echidna Walkabout adds two extra dimensions: our Wildlife Guides save you time by taking you to the best places to see wildlife PLUS you’ll be involved in conserving and protecting wildlife simply by being on the tour.
