An immense yet remote region, it spans over 162,163 square miles, with fewer than one person for every 386 square miles. This vast and scenic land is showcased at its very best on an epic Kimberley Wilderness Adventure, so join us on an exhilarating journey to Australia’s last frontier on this spectacular 4WD trek you’ll never forget. The wildlife is at its most diverse in the region. Birds, mammals, reptiles, fish and invertebrates are abundant. From fruit bats, salt-water crocodiles, pythons and frilled-neck lizards to archerfish, barramundi and termite colonies, the Kimberley is filled with an array of wildlife. Food and wine are as much an attraction as the wild country. Every meal is brimming with local ingredients of superb pedigree and quality, supplemented by the abundant riches of Western Australia’s coastlines and paddocks. Indigenous guides bring this spellbinding region to life with their insightful commentary on Indigenous rock art, providing you with a deeper understanding of the land you’re exploring. Your 16 Day Top End and Kimberley Discovery tour begins in Darwin. Set amidst the spiritual land of Kakadu, Hawk Dreaming Wilderness Lodge offers you access to restricted areas of the national park that are sacred to the local people. Spend time exploring Ubirr before travelling south to the luxury of Cicada Lodge. Spend two nights at Purnululu National Park. Explore the ancient beehive formations of the Bungle Bungle Range during your stay at the APT’s exclusive Bungle Bungle Wilderness Lodge. Visit Mitchell Plateau and hike to Mitchell Falls.
