3 Day Kakadu Culture Camp 4WD Safari

The world heritage listed Kakadu National Park lies east of Darwin and is a very special place. Discover within its boundaries an entire river with all the associated ecosystems and experience an ancient culture up to 40,000 years old. Anytime is a good time to visit. Apr-May finds the country side still fresh from recent rains and alive with growth. Jun-Sep brings clear blue skies, access to most areas as rivers recede and the coolest months to visit. Oct-Dec is the hottest time and is the best time for wildlife watching. Jan-Mar sees the most rainfall but to see the landscape come alive with waterfalls and the spectacular lightning storms on the horizon is a once in a lifetime opportunity.

Itinerary

Day 1: Darwin – Kakadu Cultural Camp
Departing Darwin we travel along the Arnhem Highway passing the major river systems and wetland regions into Kakadu National Park. After crossing the South Alligator River we begin to explore the World Heritage Area of Ubirr where we climb up through the ancient Aboriginal rock art galleries to the lookout for the famous view over surrounding wetlands. Visit the Bowali Centre with its informative displays. After lunch we make our way to Nourlangie rock art site and explore the various galleries, with insightful interpretation of the art and the rich Aboriginal cultural history of the area from your guide. Travel through to Kakadu Culture Camp, our home for the next two nights. Meet the traditional land owners from the East Alligator region during our stay here. Tonight learn about traditional Aboriginal way of life, hear stories about history and language. Learn the secrets of aboriginal bush tucker. Cruise the Djarradjin Billabong in darkness and search for crocodiles and other bird life.
Accommodation: Permanent safari tents with shared facilities, Kakadu Culture Camp, Kakadu, 2 nights L D

Day 2: Jim Jim Gorge and Twin Falls
After breakfast, drive out of camp to begin a truly enjoyable day exploring the majestic beauty of Jim Jim and Twin Falls. Access to Jim Jim Gorge is by a 900 metre walk over rocks. The falls may not flow throughout the dry season, but if there has been a reasonable wet season they will still be running up until late August. The surrounding gorges are a spectacle to behold as the rock colours continuously change with the suns position. Access to Twin Falls is by a short easy stroll to the edge of the stream and then a short boat trip up the gorge area to the beach at the base of these beautiful falls, with time to relax in the spectacular scenery that you are bound to remember for a long time. Return to camp this afternoon. B L D

Day 3: Yellow Water Wetlands
We start our touring with the Yellow Water Wetlands and wildlife cruise near Cooinda. Our guides provide us with an insight into the wildlife and the habitat you encounter. After the cruise we visit Warradjan Cultural Centre before having lunch, then onto Maguk for an afternoon swim before coming back to Darwin on the old 4WD Jim Jim Road. B L
