Bamurru Plains

Inspired by the luxury camps of Africa, Bamurru Plains offers a truly unique experience in a superb bush setting. Located on the coastal floodplains of the Mary River on the edge of Kakadu National Park, Bamurru’s emphasis is on exposing you to one of the most significant ecosystems in Australia.

This 300km² private property is home to an immense diversity of wildlife. The very design of the ten safari bungalows allows you to watch the parade of wildlife emerge to feed on the floodplain from the comfort of your bed!

An extensive touring program focuses on exploring the surrounding country away from the safari lodge, with airboat trips on the wetlands, river cruises in search of sun-baking crocodiles, bird watching, astronomy evenings, overland safari drives and guided wilderness walks, while ancient rock art and indigenous culture are an easy optional day trip to Kakadu and Arnhem Land.

Although accessible by road in just three hours, Bamurru is best reached via a privately chartered flight from Darwin, looking out over the twists and turns of the Adelaide River, otherwise known as 'Australia's Okavango'.
