Bamurru Plains

Bamurru Plains is located on the edge of Kakadu National Park on the Mary River floodplains.  A profusion of bird and wildlife are on the doorstep of a bush camp that exudes wild bush luxury, and brings style to a remote and beautiful wilderness.  The accommodation offers a ring-side seat to the sights and sounds of the bush, whether it is the haunting call of a Whistling Kite, the raucous cacophony from the Blue-Winged Kookaburras as dawn breaks, or the sound of a full grown buffalo splashing its way through the floodplains just a short distance away.  The morning chorus of tens of thousands of Magpie Geese, after whom the camp is named, is an experience in itself.

Experiences:  An early morning air boat ride over the Mary River floodplains to look for saltwater crocodiles, wild pigs, water buffalo, and just some of the many species of birds that live here.  A late afternoon jeep ride to the ocean or through the bush to view the wildlife.

Accommodation: Two nights in a luxury safari tent on a raised platform, with private en-suite.

Arnhemland

Arnhemland is made up of 91,000 square kilometres of unspoiled wilderness, and located in the Top End. Arnhem Land is blessed with wild coastlines, deserted islands, rivers teeming with fish, rainforests, soaring escarpments and savannah woodland.  The park protects wetlands of international importance and provides a habitat for abundant wildlife including crocodiles, dugong, nesting turtles and migratory birds. Arnhemland – a once in a lifetime visit, with memories that last forever..

Experiences:  Learning from a local tour guide the hidden stories of this remote region.

Accommodation: Two days on a private tour of Arnhemland, with one night under the stars.

Nitmiluk National Park

Nitmiluk National Park is home to the Jawoyn people.  A visit will allow you to experience rugged gorges, clear water, and hear for yourself traditional stories that link the Ancient times with today.

Experiences:  A river boat ride through the Nitmiluk National Park, and learning the stories of the traditional owners.

Accommodation: Two nights in rooms with private en-suite at a newly built Nature Lodge

Alice Springs

Alice Springs (pop 28 000) is half-way between the Top End and the Southern coastline of Australia.  The town is knows as Mparntwe to its traditional inhabitants, the Arrernte, who have lived in the Central Australian desert for more than 50 000 years.  Alice Springs is known for authentic Aboriginal art, and desert wildlife.

Accommodation:  One night in a five star hotel.

Uluru / Kata Tjuta

Uluru, formerly known as Ayers Rock, is a large sandstone monolith in Central Australia which, once seen, is never forgotten.  Kata Tjuta (formerly known as the Olgas) and Uluru are sacred to the Pitjantjatjara and Yankunytjatjara, the Aboriginal people of the area.  The area has many springs, waterholes, rock caves and ancient paintings.  Take the time to explore, and discover the heart of Australia for yourself.

We recommend: Spending two nights at Longitude 131, in a luxury safari tent that provides unobstructed views of Uluru.
