Cancellations by Wild Bush Luxury:  To ensure the highest standards are maintained, WBL reserves the right to reschedule or alter the experience date and time with no prior notification. These changes do not constitute a claim for a refund. Providing customers with a safe experience is of the utmost importance. If a Walk is cancelled due not meeting minimum walk numbers (4 walkers), WBL will endeavour to rebook customers on a suitable alternative date or should the guest prefer, cancel the reservation and refund the deposit.

We recommend you stay at least three nights to allow time for two full days and a chance to relax.

Arkaba Homestead accepts children twelve years old and above. With only five rooms, the best way to experience Arkaba as a family is with an exclusive use stay, either with another family or on your own.

Under this option, the guides will run bush immersion programs for the family, including species identification, tracking wildlife, setting camera traps for feral species, radio-tracking feral species, orienteering in the bush, astronomy, and learning how to toast the perfect marshmallow over the campfire.

Please note there are no child minding facilities available at Arkaba. All guests dine together.

The minimum age on our standard departures is 12 years old, however we are happy to accept younger guests on our designated Family Friendly departures.

Participants over 70 years of age require a medical certificate prior to travel.
