Lovely experience seeing so many beautiful little animals that we’ll never see elsewhere, and learn some fun knowledge about them too!

There were only my husband and myself on the night tour and it was excellent. Our guide, Bronte, was very informative and certainly knew her stuff. We had head torches with red light so could see where we were going and also any wildlife. We saw an abundance of betongs and lots of bandicoots, several echidnas and a bilby. The animals weren't too bothered by our presence and were more interested in the food provided for them. Bronte noticed that one of the bandicoots had a problem with one of its feet and was able to catch it, no mean feat in the dark, and took it back to be checked. All in all a very enjoyable tour.

We so enjoyed this tour ... as we visited out of season, there were just the two of us with guide Greg and zoologist Renée. We felt so lucky. You do have to book this tour, which runs on alternate days during the week, and it takes about an hour, plus extra time for answering questions. You walk on paved paths through a large area which is fenced off ... so the animals are not totally “in the wild”, but means you will see them. The little mala wallabies in particular would not survive outside the enclosure now, as they are way too friendly to feral cats and marauding dogs and foxes. So, we saw lots of animals, including a fight between a burrowing beettong and a brush-tailed one, over a very cute female ... very unusual behaviour which interested our guide too. We also spotted bilbies and golden bandicoots. Both Greg and Renée were extremely knowledgable. All our photos came out very red, of course, but with technology you can take out the colour for some wonderful black-and-white shots.

Our tour guide Lisa was very knowledgeable and kept us intrigued throughout. Very interesting bunch of animals and how the park is working to preserve them. The nocturnal walk itself is beautiful.

I really enjoyed seeing the wild life that this place has to offer. There were certain snakes and lizards on display that I did not know was in Australia. It was absolutely fantastic with the photo opportunities on offer and the bird show was incredible. Never seen anything like it and would love to go and see the bird show again. Skip did an excellent job of guiding us all on the warm Alice Springs day. The pleasing thing to hear was that all the animals were all Australian Natives and had been caught around Alice Springs itself. That's a true outback nature park and giving tourists from overseas a taste of our Aussie wildlife. Great job guys

If you wantt to see Australian wildlife at its best. Understand more about how the Indigenous people live and their tribal customs. How they hunt and the implements they use. We had a wonderful gentleman named Lionel, who gave us a very comprehensive explanation, with a delightful sense of humour. Then we were given an amazing display in the bird arena. I have never seen before, a trained magpie. The bird show alone was worth seeing. If you are ever in Alice Springs, do yourself a Favour and visit the Desert Park, you won't be disappointed

A terrific night walk to see nocturnal animals in their own environment. Cloë was terrific with her knowledge and helping find the animals along with Jeremy. Recommend for young teens and adults. Peter
