Testimonials

  • “Mark, the owner, was incredibly kind, knowledgeable about Indigenous culture, and had a great sense of humor! Thanks to him, our trip was unforgettable!
    When we couldn’t join any other tours and had no options left, he arranged a private tour just for us. We’re very grateful!
    The time we spent with you at Uluru has become our treasure. We’ll never forget it!!”

  • “Malpa Tours and Mark did a marvellous job for a little PhD research trip I did with my fellows. Mark made his job look so easy, and helped us by going above and beyond, sometimes to get the team out of interesting adventures with fun stories to show for it. Mark is great company for all, and very willing to learn.
    I wish Mark all the best and have been busy writing almost non-stop for a month after the trip, so much value!!! I feel I'm underselling it here.”

    - Jermaine

  • “A great experience exploring Uluru with Malpa Tours! For a truly authentic and immersive experience I would recommend this trip. Mark is extremely knowledgeable, passionate and engaged in the community which makes for an extra special experience. The camp set up is comfortable and the stars are out of this world!”

    - Sarah

  • “Mark was an outstanding find for our research team. He is a diligent, caring and easy-going guide who went the extra mile on our trip, both in terms of making sure all of his guests were happy and relaxed, and getting us to some very tricky, very remote bush locations. You’re in safe hands with Mark and you will have a fantastic time in his company.”

    - Alex

  • “Fabulous – don’t bother looking any further than Mark and his tremendous rock and stars tours. We loved it. Vehicle (her name is Destiny) does rough road travel with the smoothness of a hovercraft. Seriously though, he is a really caring guide and you will be in safe hands. Thanks Mark.”

    - Julie

  • “We had an incredible time with Mark! He is incredibly knowledgeable about the life of the Anangu (indigenous) people and is extremely respectful towards their culture. He designed the tour to everyone’s interest and liking and was above all a very nice and fun person to spend time with! It is a truly immersive experience and his tours are well worth the money and surely have less environmental footprints on the area than the big tours too.”

    - Jules

  • “Can't recommend a Malpa Tours camping adventure strongly enough! Great way to discover central Australia, while taking the time to learn about the place, its stories and its culture. Mark is an amazing tour guide, he's got an incredible amount of knowledge about the place, is building connections with the community and he tailors the tour to what guests would like to discover and learn about. Palya!”

    - Ruth

  • “Mark thrives and shines sharing his knowledge and experience with the group he leads in the Australian centre. He works hard to make the trip unforgettable, and to cater to every customer's need.
    Thanks for the fantastic journey Mark.”

    - Christie

  • “Mark is an amazing guide! He truly made this experience unforgettable. He knows so much about the history and culture of these lands, as well as the animals and plants of the bush. He beautifully tells the stories of the traditional owners, the Anangu, layering their stories over multiple days. He even knows a lot of words in the local language! It was amazing that Mark encouraged us to take our time in this special part of the world, exploring and discovering the magic. Thanks Mark, all the best!”

    - Alice

  • “Highly recommend! Beyond good vibes, Mark is an infinite source of knowledge of local culture/history/flora/fauna/geology and more. The tour was very personal and contained uncountable insights and unique anecdotes that made it feel special.”
