ITINERARY

Why we love this trip
• It's a small group soft adventure guided safari
• Visit Litchfield National Park and Kakadu National Park and get the best of the parks in 3 days

Is this trip right for you?
• Looking for a medium adventure with like minded folks then this is the trip.
• Have only three days spare and want to Kakadu and Litchfield.
• Group participation makes up a lot of this trip, so you'll be required to help with preparation of meals and cleaning up. These are the kind of tasks that bring a group closer together.

 

Day 1: (Lunch, Dinner)

We depart from Darwin from 6 .00am for the short journey to Litchfield National Park. Explore the waterfalls, spring - fed streams and rugged sandstone escarpments of Litchfield National Park. Discover intriguing cathedral and magnetic termite mounds and swim, hike and e xplore Florence and Wangi Falls and enjoy a pic nic lunch. After lunch we leave the highway behind and hit the dirt travelling along the Marrakai Road before joining the Old Jim Jim Road taking us deep into Kakadu National Park. Travelling past billabongs and traversing water crossings bringing ample opportunity for wildlife spotting. Arrive at our private campsite at Cooinda, enjoy dinner with your group before retiring to your comfortable air conditioned lodge accommodation.

Day 2: (Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner)

Awake for breakfast this morning before joining an iconic Yellow Waters Cruise. A must do activity within Kakadu National Park, the award winning Yellow Waters cruise is Aboriginal owned and centres around a spectacular billa bong system that is home to some remarkable and diverse wildlife. Spotting crocodiles is only one of the many wildlife spotting opportunities on this unique water system.

Departing camp we travel to nearby Nourlangie Rock. Here you can see how local Aboriginal people lived in this area through changing times. Environmental and social changes are reflected in the rock art and in the ground, where archaeologists have uncovered over 20,000 years of Aboriginal occupation. After lunch visit the Bowali Vis itor Centre, a Gun - djeihmi name for the local area and creek , on land owned by the Mirarr clan. See the audio - visual presentations and Marrawuddi Gallery showcasing Aboriginal art by artists from within Kakadu and the wider region. Later this afternoon w e arrive at the culturally sign ificant Aboriginal art site, Ubirr, loc ated within the East Alligator r egion of the park. Here you will view a wide range of ancient Aboriginal art which will be interpreted by your guide. Learn the story of the Rainbow Serpe nt and climb the Nadab Lookout for panoramic views over the floodplain and beyond into Arnhem Land. After learning about the area, it’s time to pick out a quiet spot to sit while we watch the sun set over the Kakadu escarpment before making the short journ ey to our private campsite for the night where you will stay in comfortable air - conditioned lodge accommodation.
