Day 1: Pickup
from Darwin CBD Toursit Accomodation Hotels, Backpackers
and Apartments,
Pick-up from your accommodation
at 6:30am. Next we get to view some fantastic bird life on
the Marrakai Floodplain as we head down the Arnhem Highway
on our way to Kakadu. We travel into Kakadu via the unsealed
Old Darwin Road and we take a break at White Lily Billabong
for another chance to admire congregations of birds amongst
water lily covered floodplains. Cool off with a refreshing
swim at Barramundi Gorge where you can spend some time exploring,
rock climbing, relaxing or swimming in the waterfalls, the
choice is yours. Tonight after a candlelit dinner in the heart
of Kakadu, you can have a go at playing the didgeridoo around
the campfire.
(Lunch, Dinner)
Camp: Corroboree Campground (toilets/showers available)
Walking: 4 km
Day 2:
Today we get off-road with
our 4wd vehicle and start making our way to Twin Falls where
you will get to enjoy an informative boat cruise with an Aboriginal
Guide up Twin Falls Gorge. After a short walk down to the
end of the gorge, you reach a beautiful white sandy beach
at the base of Twin Falls - simply spectacular. Enjoy relaxing
on the beach for a while as you take in the scenery which
can best be described as breath taking. Keep a look out for
local wildlife as we 4wd through creeks and sand on our way
to the mighty Jim Jim Falls. A swim in the plunge pool at
the base of Jim Jim Falls is sure to wake you up for the day
as you cool down in the refreshing water. To reach the plunge
pool, a 1km scenic walk through monsoon rainforest is taken
and has excellent lookouts over Jim Jim Falls. Take your time
to admire the awesome sight of the sheer cliff faces that
surround you from the base of the gorge. For the hikers today,
you will get a return walk (7km) to the Top of Jim Jim or
Twin Falls which both offer magnificent views down the gorge
and allow swimming in rock pools at the top of the falls.
These longer walks also really give you the chance to see
the Kakadu's diverse range of magnificent plant species. Our
safari camp permit in this region allows us to choose a peaceful
campsite only 30 minutes drive from Jim Jim falls and ensures
that tomorrow you will wake up to the sound of the birds instead
of the crowds. In the evening you can spend some time stargazing
under the southern skies.
(Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner)
Camp: GGarnamar/Muirella Park Campground (toilets/showers
available)
Walking: 9km
Day 3:
A cultural experience of a
different kind awaits you as we start our day by heading north
to see some awesome paintings at Ubirr Rock. The concentration
of Aboriginal art here in Kakadu is magnificent and is recognised
as one of the most famous rock art and cultural sites in the
world. At Ubirr Rock you will see some fantastic Aboriginal
Art sites and learn about the Aboriginal lifestyle and culture.
A short climb to the top of Ubirr Rock will reward you with
a 360 degree view over floodplains and the Arnhem Land Escarpment
- a spectacular sight. Next you can view various displays
on Kakadu at the Bowali Visitor Centre before we end our day's
highlights with a Private Crocodile and Wildlife Cruise on
Corroboree Billabong, a part of the Mary River system. You
are bound to see plenty of bird life and usually a lot of
crocodiles on a 1.5 hour cruise that won't leave you disappointed.
Watch the sunset as we head back to Darwin in the early evening
at the end of your 3 Day Kakadu safari. Leave your tour with
memories of spectacular scenery, magnificent waterfalls and
having had lots of fun with a group of great people.
