When you see a rare Orange Chat illuminate the desert sky, it’s an experience that can convert any nature lover into a keen twitcher. Stretching from Tennant Creek to Alice Springs and Uluru in the south, this region is home to a diverse range of rare and interesting bird species.

Discover the Acacia woodlands, riverine, range and gorge habitats or wander the Spinifex dunes, sand or gibba plains spying both the common and the more elusive birds.

Take your pick from a guided tour, self drive option or wildlife park attraction.
