Uluru rises 348 metres above the surrounding red desert plain in Australia's Northern Territory, making it one of the largest sandstone monoliths on Earth. Sacred to the Anangu people for tens of thousands of years, this iconic formation sits within Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site recognised for both its natural and cultural significance. From Uluru, the 36 domed rock formations of Kata Tjuta lie just 25 km to the west, offering walking trails such as the Valley of the Winds circuit. The nearest town, Yulara, is around 20 km from the base of Uluru and serves as the gateway for visitors, while Alice Springs — the region's main hub — is roughly 460 km to the north-east along the Stuart Highway. The landscape here is defined by vast open plains, red earth, and sparse desert scrubland, with long straight roads connecting remote communities and landmarks. Kings Canyon, another major attraction, sits approximately 320 km to the north-east of Uluru, reachable via the Lasseter and Luritja highways. Travelling by campervan or motorhome gives you the freedom to explore at your own pace, stopping wherever the outback scenery calls. With Yescapa, you can hire a campervan directly from local owners, choosing from a range of vehicles suited to the wide, open roads of the Northern Territory.
The cooler months from May to September are ideal for exploring Uluru by campervan, with daytime temperatures sitting comfortably between 20°C and 27°C. The Parrtjima festival in Alice Springs, usually held in April, lights up the MacDonnell Ranges with spectacular art installations. July and August are the busiest months, so booking your motorhome early on Yescapa helps you secure the best choice from local owners at competitive peer-to-peer prices. The shoulder months of April and October offer quieter roads and pleasant conditions for walking trails around Uluru and Kata Tjuta.

The Stuart Highway connects Alice Springs to the south and Darwin to the north, forming the main arterial route through the Northern Territory. From Alice Springs, the Lasseter Highway runs west for around 245 km to Yulara and Uluru. There are no toll roads in the region. Speed limits for motorhomes under 4.5 tonnes generally match standard vehicle limits — 130 km/h on the Stuart Highway in the Northern Territory. Fuel stops can be widely spaced, so plan refuelling carefully, especially on the Lasseter and Luritja highways where distances between service stations can exceed 200 km.
great van a few interior problems but apart from that all good
check in took 1.40 hr! legible dirty outside with tape repairs to window and mirror paid for gas but when we got there found canister was empty and we had to replace ourselves
Everything was amazing
Great experience renting the Jimny. The owners were brilliant to deal with from start to finish, and the Jeep was in excellent condition. It was perfect for exploring the Algarve. Would definitely recommend and would happily rent from them again!
Clean, well-maintained vehicle that gave us so many great memories! We traveled to many places and drove around 900 km ourselves, and it handled everything flawlessly. Thanks to its size, parking was super easy, we could fit anywhere, and we were able to sleep in spots where a different kind of campervan wouldn't have worked. It is fully equipped with everything provided, even extra games for beach days! The bed and bedding were clean, and it has a really comfortable mattress. The owners were super nice and sweet. Everything went smoothly during both pickup and drop-off, and they were always there to help whenever we needed it, even when we got a bit lost! 😅 Plus point that they were super cool and easy to talk to. P.S. The AC works like a charm!
Sergey's van is great. Really spacious, easy to drive. We had a great trip. Sergey was really nice helpful and was on hand to help with any questions during the trip. He even gave us a lift to the train station in Ljubljana! Would 100% recommend.
