Surrounded by breathtaking natural beauty and a peaceful atmosphere. There are many tour deals at special prices on offer here and here.
Negative effects of tourism
Although different areas of the Basin are protected by National Parks, some people still defy the "don't litter" warnings and dump their rubbish in waterholes.
Off-road vehicles damage sacred sites, disturbance of bird breeding sites, damage to fences which protect conservation areas and weed introductions are just a few of the problems created by growing visitor numbers.
