👋 About Us and our Camels

​

Camel Treks Australia & Nomadic Spirit Journeys

​

We’re Paul Ellis and Karen Jane Ellis —partners in life, camels, and meaningful travel. For over 25 years, we’ve been walking slowly through some of the world’s most extraordinary landscapes—in Australian, through India’s Thar, over Morocco’s Atlas Mountains, and into the Gobi desert of Mongolia.

​

Our work is more than tourism. It’s a commitment to ethical, animal-centric experiences, respectful cultural exchange, and deep connection with nature, people, and place.

​

At the heart of everything we do are the camels—each one known by name and treated with gentleness, patience, and love. Whether in Australia or abroad, our journeys are personally guided by us, not outsourced or packaged. We walk beside our guests, sharing campfires, stories, and moments that matter.

​

Our journeys are shaped by long-standing relationships with traditional custodians, nomadic families, and local guides—people we know, respect, and return to again and again. When you travel with us, you’re welcomed into those trusted spaces too.

​

We’ve never believed in rushing for us, our camels or you. 


We believe in travel that nourishes, slows you down, and reminds you what matters.


And we’d love to share it with you.

The Director, and the team at Camel Treks Australia and Nomadic Spirit Journeys acknowledge and thank the Adnyamathanha People, the Traditional Owners of the Flinders Ranges region. The name Adnyamathanha means “Rock People,” reflecting the region’s ancient and striking geological formations. We pay our respects to Adnyamathanha Elders past, present, and emerging, and recognise their enduring spiritual connection to Country. Many Adnyamathanha families continue to live in the region, including at Nepabunna and Leigh Creek — our home base and trekking home for the foreseeable future.
