What people are saying about Darwin

Thoroughly enjoyed a morning of adventure at Matt Wright’s Top End Safari Camp. There’s a great crowd of characters waiting at the camp to look after you Firstly on the leisurely river cruise (with egg and bacon rolls freshly cooked in the galley on the boat); an exhilarating ride on an airboat on the river, little side creeks and flood plain…our pilot Rowdy knew where to find the resident “salties” (estuarine crocodiles) and got up close and personal with one particularly boisterous croc called “Fluffy”; feeding the rescue crocs (watch out for those jaws, mate!); and finally a smooth helicopter flight over the river, flood plains and adjacent mango plantations. Cold drinks (and optional dip in the pool) on the deck while waiting for the chopper (flying variety). Would highly recommend this cool tour…about 8 hours from pick up (0630) to return (1430) from the Booking Office in the City.

This was an absolutely AMAZING experience. I booked this for my daughter and I to make some memories together. It was everything they said it would be. The helicopter ride was our highlight to see the topend from above. The food was delicious and all the staff were exceptional, so friendly and welcoming. We both highly recommend doing the overnight Glamping!!!!

Awesome staff. Must do. It was the best thing we every did. We will do it again, we loved it.

The best guide - Will did his best with us! What an amazing experience we had!

Great trip with value for money, staff we excellent which go above and beyond
