This is an extended version of our most popular trip. You visit a number of spectacular waterfalls, many of which are unknown to the general public. You camp next to beautiful pools you share with no one but your walking companions. The extra time allows more time for visiting Aboriginal art sites, exploring the areas near our path or simply relaxing and spending two nights at a particularly nice campsite while enjoying our surrounds.
Every season has its advantages but when people ask us when they should come, we tell them, “If you plan to come to Kakadu only once, we advise you to do it in May.”
May is normally the month when the humidity of the post wet season gives way to the Dry. It is the time when the weather finally cools off at night. Water is still plentiful and most of the waterfalls are still flowing well. Many of the 4WD tracks in the park remain closed so we can enjoy many areas without the tourist crowds who arrive later in the year.
This trip will have one, or, if we are lucky, to helicopter food drops. It will not, however, be possible to book either section on its own.
