tents on stretcher beds with mattresses, sleeping bags and
sheets provided. All campsites have toilets and hot showers.
Day
1: Darwin to Kakadu
We leave Darwin and travel to our exclusive Dreamtime
Safari Camp situated on the banks of the Murdudjurl Billabong.
This afternoon we take the Murdudjurl Cultural Tour to learn
more about local aboriginal people and their country. We set
up camp for the evening, having dinner around the camp, under
the stars.
Meals:
Lunch, Dinner
Camp: Mududjurl Dreamtime Safari Camp - (Private permanent
Campsite)
Day
2: Kakadu
After
an early breakfast, we depart on our big day out to Twin Falls
and Jim Jim Falls. These falls are in a remote area of the
Park only accessible by four wheel drive vehicle, some 70
kilometres off the sealed road via a dirt track. This is an
area of incredible natural beauty, and the waterfalls are
rainwater fed, therefore after several months without rain
(around August and September) it's possible they may not be
flowing. The rock pools and surrounds are magnificent year
round and well worth the journey. Twin Falls is only accessible
by water therefore we take a short boat ride through the gorge
to the beach at the base of the falls. After a picnic lunch
on the banks of the river, we take the hike (approximately
1 km) through the rainforest to Jim Jim Falls and its crystal
clear waters. We return to the camp for dinner and overnight.
Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
Camp: Mududjurl Dreamtime Safari Camp - (Private permanent

Waters, home to a wide variety of bird life and possibly the

clear rock pool and scenic beauty of Barramundi Gorge. We
then visit the colourful rock art and spectacular scenery
of Ubirr Rock. This is a fascinating site with spectacular
