What The Clients Say
"Our safari through the Kimberley with Global Gypsies in 2004 was a ''top'' trip. This was in all ways - planning, guiding, caring and helping, and the wonderful food provided by our Safari Hostess, Rebina. A happy atmosphere pervaded our time together, which emanated from our leader, Jeremy. We all made our farewells, sadly, and there was no doubt that many of us were thinking of the next time !!!"

''Tag Along'' with the Gypsies
On our tag-along-tours you''ll be part of a small group of private and/or hired vehicles travelling in convoy behind an escort vehicle. The routes we have selected to such outstanding destinations as Alice Springs, the Kimberley, Rudall River National Park, the Canning Stock Route, the Holland Track, the Great Australian Bight and many more - combine challenge and adventure with the incomparable beauty of Australia''s natural attractions.
We usually cover about 300 kms a day (190 miles) on a combination of approved bitumen, sand, and dirt tracks. Each vehicle is provided with a UHF(CB) radio; we also carry an EPIRB (electronic positioning indicating radio beacon), a Royal Flying Doctor Service Radio and a satellite phone. Unless otherwise specified, all safaris begin and end in Perth.
Catering
Most tag-along-tours are self-catering, or ''participatory'' catering.
On economical self-catering safaris, you do your own thing - buy the groceries, cook the meals and clean the dishes.
With the very popular participatory catering option, for a small additional cost of just $35 per person per day ($10 a day for children under 16) we''ll do all the menu planning and the grocery shopping and supply three delicious and nutritious meals a day plus morning and afternoon tea along with quality crockery, cutlery and catering equipment - we just ask that you help with the food preparation and washing up.
Because we tow a custom-designed 4WD catering trailer - a special kitchen on wheels - meals can be prepared quickly, professionally and hygienically. We also cater for special tastes and dietary requirements.
Accommodation
Accommodation on tag-along-tours is under the stars in tents in a combination of camp grounds, caravan parks and bush camps. Supply your own camping equipment, or we can hire it for you. Hot showers and all facilities are available most nights. Traditional accommodation in cabins and chalets can be arranged on request where available.
All clients are required to attend a compulsory Pre-Departure Workshop where we discuss safety issues, departure details and basic 4WD skills, and inspect private vehicles. The workshop is usually held the day prior to departure for overseas/interstate visitors, and a week before departure for local residents.
Environmentally Responsible
Global Gypsies has a strict environmental management policy. We use only approved 4WD tracks on our safaris, and our tours and tuition have a strong environmental focus. We are corporate members of TreadLightly, an international non-profit organisation which educates four-wheel-drivers on how to enjoy their hobby while protecting the environment, and Trackcare WA which maintains the 4WD tracks in and around Perth.
We are licensed to operate by the Department of Conservation & Land Management and the Department of Transport, have national accreditation, and are members of Treadlightly, Trackcare, Tourism Council WA and the Ecotourism Association of Australia.
