Explore The Top End With Kakadu Wild

Breathtaking escarpments, croc-infested wetlands, Aboriginal rock art and dramatic pockets of oasis make up the Top End’s biggest attractions – Kakadu, Katherine and Litchfield National Parks. This is where Australia really gets wild…

The tropical climate of Australia’s Top End makes for an exciting few days of exploration around some of the wildest national parks the country has to offer. When it comes to creepy crawlies, the Top End is teeming with them – not to mention the enormous saltwater and freshwater crocs, so if you don’t fancy slumming it whilst exploring this wild corner of Oz, we’d suggest booking on a Top End Tour.

Kakadu Wild’s Four-Day Kakadu, Katherine & Litchfield tour departs from Darwin, and the first stop is Litchfield National Park. In just one day, you’ll see Florence Falls and Wangi Falls, have a picnic in the rainforest, and cruise of the Mary River Wetlands where crocodiles lurk in the waters.

After a great night’s sleep in a proper bed whilst camping, you’ll wake early on day two to head to Kakadu National Park – Australia’s largest national park at 20,000 square kilometres. Here you’ll first discover the ancient Aboriginal rock art at Ubirr, and then take in the incredible views of the Nardab floodplain. Next, refresh with a reviving swim as you soak up the plunge pools of Maguk A.K.A Barramundi Gorge, followed by another night under the stars.

Considering Kakadu is around the same size as Slovenia, a scenic flight is a great way to take it all in, and on day three you’ll have the option to. You then receive a lesson in Aboriginal culture with more rock art sites and 20,000 years of tradition, after which you visit the gold-mining town of Pine Creek and enjoy a quick swim at Edith Falls. Heading into Katherine, you arrive at your campsite on the edge of Nitmiluk National Park for your final night on the tour.

Experience 23-million-year-old Katherine Gorge on your fourth and final day on a cruise or canoe (season dependent and optional add-on), then get closer to Aboriginal culture with a display in fire making, boomerang and spear throwing, and painting. After trying your hand at Aboriginal art, it’s time to head back to Darwin where the tour concludes.
