4-Day Kakadu National Park, Katherine and Litchfield National Park Camping Tour from Darwin

The area in the north of Australia's Northern Territory is known as the 'Top End'. It's a huge area, big enough to include three world class National Parks. Because the Top End is vast, each of these parks offers a different landscape, different birds and animals, different cultural and ecological history and its own unique feeling - its own spirit.

Your tour guide will show you all this and more while they concentrate on the priority - making sure you have a great time. The atmosphere is relaxed and casual, but highly professional. You'll enjoy great Australian food cooked on the campfire and you're welcomed (but not obliged) to lend a hand.

Day 1: Darwin to Kakadu

After joining the tour at your accommodation and meeting your guide and fellow travellers, leave Darwin and head towards Kakadu National Park. Your first adventure is a crocodile spotting cruise. Next stop for a visit at the Bark Hut Inn before continuing on into Kakadu.
