Kakadu Light

Feb 10-23, 2019

• Walk the wonder of Kakadu in the Wet The overnight walks are short and mixed with accommodation so you can experience the best without having to commit to a major expedition.
• One of the easiest tours we offer. The longest walk is only two nights.
• No one else will take you to to these wonderful creeks, gorges and Aboriginal art sites hidden deep within the heart of Kakadu.
• No one else gives you the chance to experience the magic of walking in Kakadu in the wet season in places that the 4WD tours cannot go.
• No other tour will take you to these amazing places outside the parks known only to locals.
• Make no mistake. This trip is for reasonably fit people who want to walk and explore places that are accessible only on foot.

Section 1: Kakadu: February Feb 10-18

You walk and wade along the tracks and see small creeks flowing better than the major rivers do in the late dry season. You do long walks and short. You have the option to do a scenic flight and see the major waterfalls at their best, not as the trickles seen by dry season visitors.

Even in the Wet, you sometimes get clear skies like the one in the campsite photo here.

Section 2: Nitmiluk, Litchfield and more: February 17-23

From Kakadu, we move south to Nitmiluk and Katherine Gorge. Other tours, if they walk at all, restrict themselves to the marked trails. We take you places you share with no one but your walking companions.

Pools like the one at left disappear later in the year.

In Litchfield, we get off the beaten track and enjoy private pools.

We visit little known places like Depot Creek. The waterfall here dries up completely by the middle of the dry season.

If we are lucky, we can get up close with some of the wildlife. The blue winged kookaburra here was photographed at a litchfield picnic area in February.

Our final stop is at the Territory Wildlife Park. At this time of year, you can get much closer to the animals than during the peak tourist season.
