Keeping Covid safe

In line with current Government restrictions and guidelines, Pyndan Camel Tracks has made some changes to ensure that we are all COVID safe. Please take a moment to read not only about our efforts but also our suggestions for your obligations before arriving to meet your camels on tour.

What Pyndan Camel Tracks is doing to ensure your safety:

• All Pyndan Camel Tracks staff have undertaken the COVID-19 Infection Control training provided by the Australian Government Department of Health.
• Pyndan Camel Tracks abides by NT Government regulations in relations to outdoor gatherings and will limit capacity of camel rides accordingly.
• We will expect our customers to abide by the physical distancing recommendations of 1.5 metres from persons who are not known to them and we may ask customers to adhere to physical distancing.
• Pyndan Camel Tracks regularly cleans all touch points and equipment in accordance with guidance from Safe Work Australia and public health authority to promote smart hygiene.

• For camel tours, with several camels joined to each other by ropes, each camel is spaced at a greater distance apart than the 1.5m physical distancing rule.
• Each camel may seat two persons, providing they are from the same booking.
• Cameleer tour guides may assist a customer to climb onto the camel, which would involve contact for less than three minutes.
