Travel insurance is highly recommended for all our trips, even for Australian travellers. At a minimum, we require that you are covered for medical expenses, including emergency repatriation. We strongly recommend that the policy also covers personal liability, cancellation, curtailment, and loss of luggage, as well as personal effects.

Cancellations within 7 Days of the start date incur a 100.00% fee.

To drive into Kakadu from Darwin takes approximately 3 hours. Most sites throughout Kakadu are quite spread out so a couple of hours driving here and there should be expected.

All the necessary equipment will be supplied to make your camping experience as comfortable as possible. Provided will be swags, tents, camp chairs, cooking equipment, tables, lamps/lights, torches and eskies.

This is a small group tour with a maximum of 12 to 16 people.

Daytime temperatures and humidity can be extreme from October to March, with temperatures over 35 degrees Celsius. Nighttime temperatures can also be high at this time of year.

We recommend bringing loose, cool cotton clothing to protect yourself from the harsh sun. A sun hat, sunscreen, swimwear, towel, sturdy walking shoes and sunglasses are necessary. Nighttime temperatures between June and August can get quite cold so we also recommend bringing a jacket.

Kakadu, Arnhemland and Litchfield are rough and rugged stone bush country. In many places listed in the itinerary, there are cleared walking tracks but not boardwalks or handrails. Some walks are over slippery and uneven ground, and caution is advised when walking over these surfaces. A reasonable level of fitness & stable footing is required for most locations in these itineraries and to make the most of the experience. Territory Expeditions has designed these tours for the fit and active.

To get the most out of this trip, you need to be prepared for walks of between 3 and 8 km on some days. This may be on rough ground, and perhaps your feet will get wet in rivers and creeks. From October to March, you will experience temperatures of over 35 degrees Celsius (and sometimes well into the 40s), so be prepared to endure extra physical stress due to the heat at these times, especially while on walks.

These extreme outside temperatures can also stress the air-conditioning units within the vehicles, making travelling uncomfortable. Your tour guide will provide regular breaks and information to help you stay well-hydrated.

You will be travelling in a vehicle specifically designed and built for Australian outback conditions. All vehicles are 4WD, air-conditioned for your comfort, and have iPhone connections and large panoramic windows for uninterrupted sightseeing.

Pack only your bare essentials. Due to limited space and strict road laws limiting vehicle gross weight, you are required to limit your luggage to one small to medium-sized soft bag or backpack (max 10 kg) and a small daypack, which can be carried inside the vehicle. Extra luggage can usually be stored at your hotel.

On most days, breakfast, lunch, and dinner will be included. Your leader will prepare most of the meals while you are on tour, but you will have the opportunity to assist with daily activities such as setting up camp, helping prepare meals, and clearing dishes. None of this is difficult; however, many hands make light work, and any assistance provided to the crew is always much appreciated. Most people agree that this activity helps you feel less of a tourist and more of an explorer.

Please budget for approximately AUD 100.00 for additional meals and expenses while on your trip. These may include ice cream, souvenirs, or the purchase of a refreshing ale for the evening’s campfire. If purchasing alcohol, we recommend buying it in Darwin for a better price and variety. There is a drinks esky provided on the vehicle. Our suggestion is based on past traveller feedback, but you may choose to spend more or less.

Mobile phone reception is available around all major service centres within Kakadu, Litchfield, Arnhemland, and Mardugal campground. Every vehicle has a Satellite phone for emergencies.

The most important thing to remember is that you’re on holiday, and that’s a great reason not to have a phone.
