Ultimate Australia Top End and Fiji Island Escape

The small tropical city of Darwin is the capital of the Northern Territory, which Australians often call the top end. Originally a gold rush town, it became an important base for Allied action against the Japanese in the Pacific during the Second World War, and is now the gateway to many of the natural wonders of the country, including many national parks and the Outback.

Meet your private guide for this unique adventure, Sab Lord. Sab is something of a legend in these parts having spent over 25 years in and around the Northern Territory and Western Australia leading specialized tours throughout the Kimberley, Kakadu and Arnhem Land. In the 1950’s his father ran a crocodile and buffalo hunting operation at Munmalary – the station is now encapsulated in World Heritage Listed Kakadu National Park. His in depth knowledge of the flora, fauna and history, his unique character as well as his personal links with the traditional Aboriginal owners established during that time ensure your private touring experience will never be forgotten.

Leaving Darwin your first stop is Fogg Dam Reserve, a place whose year round water coverage makes it an important feeding and roosting site for a wide variety of water birds and other animals. Travel on to the Adelaide River where to witness the fabulous jumping crocodiles and other wildlife. These Saltwater Crocodiles are a magnificent sight - the crocs are surprisingly powerful and can project their bodies almost totally out of the water using their tail - you will gain a good understanding of why they have survived for more than two hundred million years!

A short detour off the highway is the beautiful Learning Tree Lagoon; this Billabong is often covered in water lilies making it a popular quick stop for photographers. Lunch is at the Bark Hut Inn, an Aussie Roadhouse was built during the buffalo era that is a reminder of earlier, wilder times.

The last stop for today before reaching your private safari camp is at Cooinda. Here experience one of Kakadu’s icons - a Yellow Water Cruise. This pristine environment supports a truly wonderful variety of plants, birds, crocodiles and Top End wildlife and you might see saltwater crocodiles, a Jacana bird walking on water, the magnificent sea eagle or any one of the 280 species that visit this billabong.

Enjoy your days exploring the wilds of Bamurru Plains. The wildlife on show is some of the most impressive in Australia, and expert field guides will help you discover it. Watch hundreds of birds take flight from the lake as you fly by on an airboat, or slowly cruise down the Sampan River watching for silver flashes of fish breaking the surface, all sorts of creatures move in the grass, the air is warm and still and all eyes scan the shallows for big saltwater crocodiles. On guided walks and drives search for free roaming horses, buffalo, dingos and wallabies or spend some time up in the tower hide spotting the vibrant bird life of the area.
