Safari Tours

Begin your small group Litchfield day tour from Darwin around 7:30 am journeying south to the crystal clear waters of Berry Springs.

Indulge in a relaxing geothermal massage at Berry Springs first thing in the morning whilst enjoying homemade mango muffins and morning coffee. Afterwards, paddle around and watch the many fish, sit casually under the waterfall or go for a serene rainforest stroll along the creek. From this piece of heaven we set our sights on the historic township of Batchelor, the gateway to Litchfield National Park. Along the way get to know the landscape and history of the Top End as your local guide lets you in on the past and present before arriving at Batchelor Town.

In Batchelor we take the time to enjoy the local Batchelor museum. This community run feature showcases many personal stories of the people and events which shaped the NT whilst also offering an exclusive venue option for our Wild Barramundi BBQ.

After lunch we are exploring Litchfield National Park. Cascading waterfalls, crystal clear swimming spots, grand viewpoints, endemic plants and animals and much more … Enjoy the relaxed pace as your guide tailors the afternoons to suit you.

Rise and shine and be ready for a 7.00 am pickup from your Darwin accommodation. Up early to get us straight out to Litchfield National Park and on to some of those magical short walks ending in waterfalls!

Spend the day exploring the best of what Litchfield has to offer, including Florence Falls, Tolmer Falls, Wangi Falls, Tabletop Swamp, magnetic and cathedral termite mounds, Bamboo Creek Tine Mine* and Walker Creek* (*May to Nov).

With ample time for photos, relaxation and reflection you'll still be back to Darwin in time for for happy hour or a late flight home.

Designed to take advantage of the cooler morning hours and out of sync with the majority of other visitors be prepared for a personal, intimate introduction to the Top End.

Leave the latte behind as you don your brave face and embark on your own two-day Top End outback reality show.

DAY 1 – DARWIN TO LITCHFIELD NATIONAL PARK
Meet your expert guide at the front of your accommodation in Darwin and begin the journey south to Litchfield National Park. Visit historic mining ruins and ponder the nature of life on the frontier. See mother nature's statues (Cathedral and Magnetic Termite mounds) in and around the woodland, grassland and forests that form the natural backdrop as you provide witness to the scene.

Short hikes into secluded swim spots and viewpoints during the early afternoon before seeking the perfect location to savour dinner and watch the golden rays of sunset play across the ancient sandstone landforms of Litchfield Park.

As the ochre colours gain intensity and daylight closes out it is now time to gear up for a series of short night walks along less trodden pathways of Litchfield in search of the cute, the cuddly and the other type of WILD LIFE that finds refuge here.

Later that night enjoy a cold drink around the dancing campfire flames before retiring to the comfort of your personal tent of dreams.

DAY 2 – LITCHFIELD NATIONAL PARK

Rising early with the birds for a sunrise walk and light breakfast next to the clear waters of one of the many waterfall fed swim holes in Litchfield is the way we like to start our day. Relax and take in the scene and moments before exploring the other short hiking trails in the area. Spend the rest of the day doing short hikes, swims and learning about the natural wealth of food, medicine and resource plants in the area.

Returning to Darwin around 1730 pm.
