Overview

Venture to Australia’s Top End, through the untamed wilderness and wetlands of Kakadu – an ancient landscape of billabongs, gorges and hidden canyons teeming with spectacular wildlife. Embark on an Inspiring Journey to the haunt of the Lightning Man, Aboriginal clans and the mighty crocs that roam Kakadu’s floodplains.

Begin your epic adventure in the cosmopolitan city of Darwin, where you’ll board your luxury 4WD vehicle in the company of your local Journey Director. Your exploration of the Top End’s natural treasures begins in Litchfield National Park. Hear how the local Aboriginal people’s ancestral spirits have shaped the landscape, then embark on a cross-country journey along the rugged Marrakai Track (seasonally accessible). Late-afternoon you’ll arrive at Wilderness Lodge, where you’ll stay in private permanent safari tents. Situated in the Mary River Wetlands and renowned for its incredible wildlife, the property seamlessly combines comfort and chic with the beauty of the surrounding landscape. Join your Journey Director for a Welcome Reception with drinks and canapés, as the sun sets over the floodplains and after dinner maybe sit back with a nightcap by the fire pit.
