WELCOME TO AUSTRALIAS LARGEST CAMEL FARM
THE ULURU CAMEL TOURS STORY
1998 – 2011
Uluru Camel Tours was founded in 1998 by NT tourism pioneers, Nick and Michelle Smail. After
operating at the rock successfully for seven years, they then sold the company to Wana
Ungkunytja , an Aboriginal-owned corporation, in July 2005. Wana Ungkunytja operated the farm
for six years, however being corporation-owned and managed from Alice Springs some 460km to
the north things did not work in the farm’s favour and it became difficult to sustain the business
due to a lack of camel expertise.
New Owners
March 1st 2011 the business changed hands. The new owners quickly breathed life back into the
farm with the number 1 priority rejuvenating the 12 camels that came with the farm. Many long
hours of hard work were spent get the farm ready for visitors. Chris brought to the operation 12
full trained working camels, a life time of camel experience, and great deal of passion and
enthusiasm.
The business has grown from a small operation in 2011, conducting three tours per day, to the
largest working camel farm in Australia operating five tours per day.
