Tour Itinerary:
Day 1 (L,D)
You will be collected from your Darwin accommodation at 7.30am for your 2 day 4WD Kakadu Safari.
We head south along the Stuart highway and into Fog Dam Conservation Reserve. These wetlands have international significance because of their beauty, natural systems and their importance to the local Aboriginal people. A great variety of fauna can be found here throughout the year.
After a comfort stop at the Bark Hut, we make our way into heritage listed Kakadu National park. Kakadu is the largest national park in Australia , has some of the world’s finest rock art and a variety of habitats, including floodplains and savannah woodlands.
Once within the park, our first stop is Ubirr where we walk through galleries of ancient aboriginal rock art, which your guide will interpret. Also learn about bushtuckers and bush medicines before reaching the top of the plateau, where you can relax and enjoy the spectacular view over the floodplains.
A picnic lunch will be served on the banks of the East Alligator River.
Then we head to the centre of the park and to the Warradjan Aboriginal Cultural Centre for an insight into the cultural heritage of the park.
Late this afternoon, board the sunset Yellow Waters billabong cruise, with it’s prolific birdlife and wonderful variety of plants. Saltwater crocodiles are often spotted here.
After the cruise, we make our way to one of the billabongs in the area, where we finish the day with a champagne sunset BBQ.
Overnight accommodation - Lakeview Park, Bush Bungalows
Day 2 (B,L)
After breakfast we visit the Bowali visitors information centre for a look around before making our way to Nourlangie Rock, an ancient Aboriginal shelter, where we will explore the area and the rock art. Your guide will lead you on an interpretive walk around the site.
Enjoy the birdlife at Anbangbang billabong and then onto Nawalandja lookout, where a short hike to the lookout is rewarded by a magnificent view over the Arnhemland escarpment.
We make our way to Maguk (Barramundi Gorge and falls), where a picnic lunch will be served before we take a walk through the paperbark forest to reach the gorge. After a refreshing swim in the plungepool, we begin our journey back to Darwin, on the old Jim Jim road (unsealed).
