AU Arnhem Land Safari

Mt Borradaile is a registered aboriginal sacred site in an exclusively leased 700 km2 area nestled against the Arnhem Land escarpment. Its rugged ranges are fringed by idyllic billabongs, flood plains, paper bark swamps and monsoonal rainforests. Valleys, overhangs and caves have been occupied for over 50,000 years and offer magnificent galleries of rock art. The Mt Borradaile 4 star safari camp is managed via honorary custodian status conferred on Max Davidson and his staff by the traditional landowners. Enjoy Max’s prodigious knowledge of Arnhem Land's extraordinary natural assets.

This is only one example of a TAILORED tour. Tailoring doesn't mean more expensive ... it can often mean less. We can develop tours to suit budgets and interests. The price depends a lot on what you want to do, where you want to go (some destinations are more limited than others), how often and the level of comfort and guiding you need. Drawing off our extensive portfolio, we find trips fall roughly into these price categories. Drop us a line with where you want to go, for how long and your approximate budget and you might be surprised what we can do for you.
