Your first full day dedicated to the wonders of the Mary River catchment begins with the signature, exhilarating Airboat Safari. This is the only way to truly explore the vast, shimmering wetlands, offering a feeling of freedom as you skim across the floodplains. Glide effortlessly past thousands of congregating Magpie Geese, Plumed Whistling-Ducks, and Ibis, ensuring unmatched photo opportunities of the phenomenal birdlife. Your expert guide will point out crocodiles gliding silently through the water and demonstrate the unique uses of the wetland flora that defines this environment. The airboat allows you to reach areas few others ever see.

The late morning is dedicated to time at leisure within the lodge. Relax by the infinity-edge pool, which often acts as a natural wildlife watering hole, allowing you to watch native birds take flight or buffalo roam the fringes of the camp. The afternoon brings a choice between an Open-Top Game Drive (seasonal, during the dry) or a tranquil River Cruise along Sampan Creek. From the comfort of a shaded boat, you will observe estuarine crocodiles basking on the banks and discover the remarkable bird species that thrive in the mangrove-lined environment. This experience culminates with sunset canapés enjoyed directly on the water while your guide shares fascinating insights about the Top End ecosystem.

Today is reserved for a deeper, land-based exploration of Bamurru's savannah woodland. Join an early morning Open-Top Game Drive, utilizing the best time of day to spot terrestrial wildlife like Agile Wallabies, wild horses, and the iconic massive buffalo herds that graze the receding plains. Traverse this vital yet fragile environment in a specially modified 4x4 vehicle with your knowledgeable guide, who will provide fascinating context on the delicate balance of the Top End ecosystem.

The mid-day heat is the perfect excuse for slow living. Take time to connect with nature from the serenity of The Hide, a unique blind designed for dedicated birding and quiet observation. Located in the heart of the Mary River catchment, The Hide offers unparalleled views of the wetlands, allowing you to witness 236 species of birds in their natural habitat. The afternoon provides options for a short bush walk to discover the unique flora up close or simply relaxing by the pool with a book. End your day with a final unforgettable bush dinner at the lodge, soaking in the remote atmosphere and relishing the silence of the wilderness under an immense canopy of stars.

Your final morning is dedicated to maximising your connection with the wild beauty of Bamurru. We recommend an early morning visit to The Hide for tranquil, dedicated birdwatching, or joining a final Open-Top Game Drive to maximise your chances of spotting wallabies or wild horses. Following your adventure, enjoy a relaxed, gourmet breakfast overlooking the sprawling savannah one last time. You will depart Bamurru Plains feeling completely rewilded and profoundly renewed, carrying a deep sense of peace and a collection of unforgettable memories from this unique safari experience.

You will be transferred on a private air charter from Bamurru Plains to Darwin Airport.

Perth sits on the west coast and is Australia’s sunniest capital city.
