We pride ourselves on the high standard and professionalism of our guides. They come from all walks of life but they all have a common passion – and that is to give you the best possible experience.
We usually have two guides accompanying a group however if the group is small there may only be one guide. On most vehicle supported trips we have two guides, one will be walking or cycling with the group while the other is driving the support vehicle and organising the camp.
In the field, this same caring team of people also provide you with experienced leadership, healthy & delicious meals, local knowledge, first-aid if needed and an amazing travel experience.
Their passion and intimate understanding of the wilderness you’ll travel through always ensures that they are also a highlight of your holiday.

Each of our guides provide an insight to the local environment, offering interpretation of Aboriginal history and culture, the fascinating geology and fossils through to identifying local flora and fauna and the practical uses of them by Aboriginal people.
Meal preparation
Delicious meals guaranteed
All food preparation on the tour is undertaken by the guides to ensure health and hygiene standards are maintained and to minimize waste. Supplies and food for each departure is sourced locally (if available) with an additional re-stock completed on the third day to reduce oversupply, spoilage and to reduce the weight and quantity of supplies taken with vehicles. World Expeditions cater for all types of dietary requirements such as vegetarians, gluten-free, wheat-free, dairy free etc.
