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

To get the most out of this trip you need to be prepared for walks of between 3km and 8km on some days. This may be on rough ground and perhaps getting feet wet in rivers and creeks. From Oct 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 place stress on the air-conditioning units within the tour vehicles which can make travelling uncomfortable. Your tour guide will assist with regular breaks and information to assist in keeping well hydrated.

Passengers with special meal requirements must ensure they advise us at the time of booking. Food for the trip is purchased prior to commencement and special requirements cannot be catered for after departing. Vegetarians, celiacs or those with any special meal requirements may need to provide additional assistance to the leader for meal preparation.

Mobile phone reception is available around all major service centers within Kakadu, Litchfield, Arnhemland and Mardugal campground. There is a satellite phone on every vehicle for emergencies.

The most important thing to remember is you're on holidays and that’s a great reason to not have a phone!!

On this tour, you will be responsible for purchasing your own dinner on Night 1 and Night 2.

Your leader will prepare most of the meals whilst on tour but you will have the opportunity to assist with helping prepare meals and clearing dishes. None of this is difficult, however many hands make light work and any assistance provided to crew is always much appreciated. Most people agree that this type of activity helps you feel like less of a tourist and more of an explorer.

Please budget for approximately AUD $100 additional meals and expenses while on your trip which may include ice-creams, souvenirs or the purchase of a refreshing ale for the evenings campfire. If purchasing alcohol, we recommend buying it in Darwin for 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.

Ensure you have a couple of light, long sleeve cotton shirts as these help with pesky mozis in the more humid nights.
Daytime temperatures and humidity can be extreme from Oct to March with temperatures over 35 degrees Celsius. Night time temperatures can also be high at this time of year.

Therefore, we recommend that you bring loose, cool, cotton clothing to protect yourself from the harsh sun. A sun hat, sunscreen, swimwear, towel, sturdy walking shoes and sunglasses are also a must.

Daytime temperatures can be extreme from Oct to March with temperatures over 40 degrees celsius. Please bring a large refillable water bottle. We strongly recommend the use of dehydration salts and sports drinks as a way to combat dehydration during times of extreme heat.
