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: Minimal Facility Campground
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: Garnamar Campground (Safari Camp)
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.
