Day 1 Darwin – Mary River
Begin your epic adventure in the
cosmopolitan city of Darwin, where
you’ll board your luxury 4WD
vehicle in the company of your local
Journey Director. Your exploration of
the Top End’s natural treasures begins
in Litchfield National Park. Hear how
the local Aboriginal people’s ancestral
spirits have shaped the landscape, then
embark on a cross-country journey along
the rugged Marrakai Track (seasonally
accessible). Late-afternoon you’ll arrive
at Wildman Wilderness Lodge, where
you’ll stay in private permanent safari
tents. Situated in the Mary River Wetlands
and renowned for its incredible wildlife,
the property seamlessly combines
comfort and chic with the beauty
of the surrounding landscape. Join
your Journey Director for a Welcome
Reception with drinks and canapés,
as the sun sets over the floodplains,
and after dinner maybe sit back with a
nightcap by the fire pit. Hotel: Wildman
Wilderness Lodge, Mary River. L DW
Day 2 Mary River – Kakadu
Wake up with the wildlife of Mary River
and drive to Corroboree Billabong, where

the different bird species and estuarine
crocodiles that find sanctuary in its lotus-
covered waters. Then journey into the
tropical depths of iconic Kakadu National
Park, stopping at Bowali Visitor Centre.
As evening approaches, prepare for a
