Despite the often harsh climate, Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park is home to hundreds of different animal and bird species. One of the best things about a visit here is to see some of this wildlife in their natural habitat.

The park has 21 species of native mammals, 178 species of birds, 73 species of reptiles and literally thousands of invertebrates species. Birdsong often fills the air and reptile sightings of perentie lizards and pre-historic looking thorny devil are common. On occasion, it’s possible to spot rock kangaroos at Kata Tjuta and roaming desert camels.
