Tour Code: 3KC
On safari your accommodation is in our purpose built “Safari Tents”. They are locally designed for our tropical climate. The walls are of canvas and the windows of insect screen. The floors are of wood and are raised above the ground. You’ll enjoy the comfort of this spacious cool design. Each tent has 2 single camp beds on to which is rolled a traditional Australian bushmans swag with high density mattress, linen, blankets and pillow. Each camping area is serviced with hot showers and flushing toilets. In the evenings you will enjoy a sumptuous candle lit dinner of local Barramundi and a traditional roast beef, both cooked on the camp fire. Vegetarian and other diets are catered for but you must request it when you book.
We’ll stop for lunch before heading east into the World Heritage Listed Kakadu National Park. This evening’s camp is at Gunlom Falls (made famous by the movie Crocodile Dundee). The beautiful Gunlom Falls is situated in the South Alligator Valley in the southern, less visited part of the park. Upon arrival at camp we set off on an energetic climb to the top of the falls. Here we take in the breathtaking views and perhaps enjoy a swim in one of the many rock pools.
After lunch at a picturesque spot, we head north to the Warradjan Aboriginal Cultural Centre, an impressive building built in the shape of the local freshwater turtle. Here you will learn about the traditional Aboriginal owners of the park, their culture, beliefs and lifestyles. To end the day we enjoy a spectacular sunset cruise on the world-renowned Yellow Water wetlands, with the opportunity to see the myriad birdlife and perhaps the awesome saltwater crocodile. Tonight’s camp is at nearby Mardugal Billabong.
We then begin our journey to Ubirr to view more interesting Aboriginal rock art. The view from the top of the rock is magnificent. En route to Darwin we travel across the Mary, Adelaide and Marrakai Plains. We’ll make a quick stop at the Bark Hut Inn. Then it’s on to Darwin, arriving at your accommodation in the late afternoon. Maximum of just 12 passengers. Tuesday departures run in the reverse order to that listed above.

This first class safari is much more than a sight seeing tour, it is an experience of the cultural landscape known as Kakadu National Park. Tours are guided by our experienced professional guides with major emphasis on interpretation of the ecology, Aboriginal rock art as well as just plain having fun.
