We leave Darwin with a bright and early start, and head to Wulna Country, where your Limilngan-Wulna hosts – the land’s Traditional Owners – will greet you with a Cul Cul or ‘Welcome to Country’. Learn about their culture during bush tucker talks and didgeridoo and basket weaving demonstrations. We continue East along the Arnhem Highway to the Corroboree Billabong on the Mary River for a wildlife cruise to learn about the Top End’s wetlands and sight the variety of birdlife and the saltwater crocodiles. After lunch we continue to the border of Kakadu and Arnhem Land, Cahill’s Crossing, where the 4WD is utilised to traverse the croc-infested East Alligator River. Welcome to Arnhem Land. Learn about the cultural importance of the West Arnhem Land region as your Bininj guide takes you to restricted areas that First Nation ancestors have been visiting for thousands of years. Spend the afternoon learning about the region and its people’s history from your guide, before heading back to Kakadu for an overnight stay. (L,D)

Today we explore the magnificent Kakadu National Park in our 4WD. First up is the jaw-dropping Jim Jim Falls, which plunges down 200 metres,  we’ll base ourselves here for a picnic lunch, a walk around its surrounds and nice cool swim before returning to our camp. This afternoon, you have the option of taking a scenic flight over Kakadu or visiting the Bowli Cultural Centre. (B,L,D)

Depending on the season, we will start the day with a hike to Maguk (Barramundi Gorge) or Gunlom Falls and take a dip in the chilled, refreshing water of the natural plunge pools. Our next stop is the historic gold mining town of Pine Creek that offers a fascinating picture of life in the mining boom of the late 19th century. We then head to our campsite near Nitmiluk National Park for dinner. (B,L,D)

Litchfield was declared a national park in 1987, it hosts an abundance of freshwater waterfalls and swimming holes, ancient gorges, hundreds of native birds as well as some impressively sized termite mounds.
