Operated by Wild Bush Luxury, Bamurru Plains is a remote safari lodge set on the edge of Kakadu National Park in the Northern Territory. Though just a short flight from Darwin, this exclusive wilderness retreat feels a world away, set on a private 300-square-kilometre property along the Mary River floodplain.

This is the Top End at its most raw and beautiful. You'll stay in safari-style bungalows that look out to the floodplain, where agile wallabies graze and a multitude of birds call at dawn. With no Wi-Fi, TVs or mobile reception, Bamurru offers a rare chance to disconnect from the digital world and reconnect with nature.

Each experience is immersive and exhilarating, drawing you deeper into the landscape. Glide over wetlands on an airboat safari, spot crocodiles on river cruises, explore the savannah bushland in an open-top 4WD, or watch birdlife from a treetop hide. To connect more deeply with the local Indigenous culture, join guided excursions into Arnhem Land or Kakadu, where you can view ancient Aboriginal rock art under special permit.

At Bamurru Plains, wild luxury meets the spirit of the outback, inviting you to slow down and experience the untamed beauty of Australia’s Top End.
