Itinerary

Day 1 - Darwin to Kakadu

You’ll meet your guide & fellow travellers early as we depart at 7.00am to travel to famous Kakadu National Park including a visit to Ubirr Rock and the aboriginal art site here. We then travel to our exclusive Dreamtime Safari Camp situated on the banks of the Murdudjurl Billabong. This afternoon we take the Murdudjurl Cultural Tour to learn more about local aboriginal people and their country, Bushtucker and arts & craft. We then return to camp for the evening, having dinner around the camp.

Meals: Lunch, Dinner

Day 2 - Kakadu

After an early breakfast, we depart on our big day out to Gunkurdul (Twin Falls) and Barrkmalam (Jim Jim Falls). These falls are in a remote area of the Park only accessible by four wheel drive vehicle, some 70 kilometres off the sealed road via a dirt track. This is an area of incredible natural beauty, and the waterfalls are rainwater fed, therefore after several months without rain (around August and September) it's possible they may not be flowing. The rock pools and surrounds are magnificent year round and well worth the journey. Gunkurdul is only accessible by water therefore we take a short boat ride through the gorge to the beach at the base of the falls. After a picnic lunch on the banks of the river, we take the hike (approximately 1 km) through the rainforest to Barrkmalam and its crystal clear waters. We return to the camp for dinner and overnight.

After a picnic lunch we take you to Jabiru Airport where you will take a short flight into Arnhem Land. Here your hosts at Davidson's Mt Borradaile Safari Camp will meet you.
