Matt Wright's Top End Safari Tour & Glamping

Top End Safari Camp Tours for the Family

An hour and a half out of Darwin, Matt Wright's Top End Safari Camp sits among the floodplains and cathedral termite mounds of the Litchfield region, the kind of untamed Northern Territory scenery most families only see on television. A scenic helicopter flight, an airboat ride through crocodile country and a close encounter with a 17 foot Saltwater Crocodile named Tripod make this one of Darwin's most memorable family adventures. Here's how to book yours.

Top End Safari Camp Day Tour from Darwin

The Top End Safari Camp Day Tour packs a scenic helicopter flight over the floodplains, a thrilling airboat ride through the rainforest, a crocodile encounter and feeding, and a gourmet BBQ on a billabong cruise into one action packed 7 hour day, with return transfers from Darwin hotels included. Child tickets are available for ages 4 to 14.

Overnight Glamping Safari from Darwin

The Overnight Glamping Safari turns the Top End adventure into a 2 day, 1 night experience, with a helicopter flight over the floodplains, crocodile feeding, a 45 minute airboat cruise and a night spent glamping in deluxe Lotus Belle tents complete with double beds and private outdoor showers, finishing with a cooked breakfast before the return to Darwin. Family tickets covering 2 adults and 2 children are available.

Is the helicopter flight included in both tours?

Yes, both the day tour and the overnight glamping safari include a scenic helicopter flight over the Litchfield floodplains, spotting crocodiles, buffalo and birdlife from the sky.

What's the difference between the day tour and the overnight glamping safari?

The day tour runs for around 7 hours with return transfers from Darwin, while the overnight safari adds a night camping in deluxe tents on site, plus dinner on the open star deck and a cooked breakfast the next morning.

Are there any weight restrictions for the helicopter flight?

Yes, weight restrictions prevent passengers over 130 kilograms from taking the helicopter flight on either tour.

What should we pack for a Top End Safari Camp tour?

Sun protection including a hat, a camera, bathers and a towel, with a spare t-shirt recommended for the overnight safari since the mudflat fun can get a little muddy.

Local tip: book the overnight glamping safari if your family has the extra day up your sleeve, waking up to a Top End sunrise over the floodplains is something the kids will talk about long after the trip is over.
