Kakadu and Litchfield National parks are names synonymous with this amazing part of the Northern Territory, where stunning scenery, abundant wildlife and diverse landscapes are inextricably connected with deeply significant Aboriginal cultural history which has been passed down for generations. Thus, our adventure into this beautiful area becomes far more than a wilderness expedition, but also a spiritual journey.
From swimming in stunning waterholes in Litchfield, to climbing atop waterfalls to survey the never-ending surroundings, we will embark on informative riverine walks, learn from the locals about Aboriginal culture, and see ancient Aboriginal rock art. Of course, no visit to Kakadu would be complete without a sunrise cruise on the Yellow Water Wetlands, ideal for viewing the abundant bird life whilst spotting enormous estuarine (saltwater) crocodiles.
