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. 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 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 flush 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.

Day 1
Today we leave Darwin and travel down “The Track” to Adelaide River. We then travel through the back tracks to the old historic mining settlement of Pine Creek, site of a major gold rush a century ago and still a gold mining town today. We'll stop for lunch before heading east into the World Heritage Listed Kakadu National Park. This evening's camp is at Gunlom Falls. 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. Gunlom Falls was made famous by the movie Crocodile Dundee.

Day 2
This morning we continue our journey to through the South Alligator Valley to Maguk (Barramundie Falls). Here we have the opportunity to explore the surrounding monsoon rainforest and take a swim in the beautiful plunge pool. 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.

Day 3
This morning we continue north one of Kakadu's famous rock art sites at Nourlangie Rock, where you will see ochre rock paintings. Spanning a period of continuous occupation of this area for over 20,000 years. Your guide will explain the stories and mythology relating to the art. 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.
