Litchfield Waterfalls Wetlands Wildlife

Tour Code: ant-DL02

Highlights   • Sandy Creek Falls • Florence Falls

Day 1: Darwin – Litchfield National park

We leave Darwin and head south across the Elizabeth and Finniss Rivers to Wangi Falls. From here we travel to our exclusive camp at 'Minjungari' which gets its name from the beautiful blue water lilies on the billabong nearby. After lunch the 4WD vehicles are put to work as we venture further into the remote, less visited areas of this tropical wonderland. The beautiful Sandy Creek Falls is a must and when seasonal conditions permit, Surprise Creek, one of Litchfield's well-hidden secrets will be visited as well. In the evening we return to Minjungari, where you may see the wildlife come down to feed and drink at the nearby billabong.

Accommodation: Minjungari Camp, Litchfield National Park. (LD)

Day 2: Minjungari – Darwin

For the early risers and keen birdwatchers a morning stroll along the banks of the billabong will prove rewarding. As well as the many bird species that inhabit the area, you may even meet some inquisitive wallabies feeding nearby. After breaking camp we visit some of the historic sites and explore the pioneer background of the area. We then visit Tolmer Falls, home to a colony of rare Orange Horseshoe bats, and the breathtaking Florence Falls before we return to Darwin via the small town of Batchelor. (BL)
