Why travel with us

What to expect out here

Born in Broken Hill in 1995, Tri State Safari Tours was founded by Michael and Joanne McCulkin.

Today, we run small-group tours for travellers who want an authentic outback experience, with local stories, memorable places and time to connect with the people along the way.

This is the Accessible Outback.

You don't need to be a seasoned traveller, experienced camper or four-wheel-drive enthusiast to experience the Outback. Around here, strangers become mates, stories are shared around campfires, and every journey becomes a memory worth telling for years to come.

“This tour was great and took us to all the places of interest outside of Broken Hill, as well as the great museums in town. Our day at Menindee Lakes was fantastic with many animal sightings. Our guide John was so knowledgeable about all things related to the mines, history, wildlife and wildflowers…”
