2 Day Litchfield's Hidden Secrets

Litchfield National Park is just 2 hours drive south of Darwin. It features beautiful perennial waterfalls and associated monsoon rainforests. It is the ideal place for some moderate to easy grade bushwalks with always a cool refreshing swim at the end. Due to its proximity to Darwin some people choose to visit for just one day and are disappointed they have to return to Darwin without visiting the "hidden secrets". Within the national park we have our own permanent safari camp "Minjungari" tucked away in a hidden corner. You'll enjoy a comfortable night in the wilderness with the only disturbance being the sounds of the bush. The camp is equipped with our purpose built "Safari Tents". They are locally designed for our tropical climate. 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 standard size beds, a comfortable mattress, sheets, blankets, pillow and towel. In the evening you will enjoy a sumptuous candle lit dinner from the campfire. Vegetarian and other diets are catered for, but be sure to let us know your requirements when booking.

Day 1
We leave Darwin and head south across the Elizabeth and Finniss Rivers to Wangi Falls. Along the way we'll stop and "Boil the Billy" by a pretty stream. From here we travel to our permanent camp at "Minjungari" which gets its name from the beautiful blue waterlilies on the billabong nearby. After lunch the 4WD vehicles are put to work as we venture further into the remote, less visited areas of this tropical wonderland. The beautiful Sandy Creek Falls is a must and when seasonal conditions permit, Surprise Creek, one of Litchfield's well-hidden secrets. In the late afternoon we return to Minjungari, where you may see the wildlife come down to feed and drink at the nearby billabong. Your Camp Host will delight you with hors d'oeuvres at sunset and delicious evening meal cooked in camp ovens or on the open fire.

Day 2
For the early risers and keen birdwatchers a morning guide walk along the banks of the billabong will prove rewarding. As well as the many bird species that inhabit the area, you may even meet some inquisitive wallabies feeding nearby. We leave camp and travel to visit some of the historic sites and explore the pioneer background of the area at Blyth Homestead. We then visit Tolmer falls lookout, home to a colony of rare Orange Horseshoe bats. Traveling on we visit the breathtaking Florence Falls, before we stopping to view the unique termite moulds found it this area. We return to Darwin via the small town of Batchelor, arriving into Darwin in the late afternoon.
