An Off-Grid Safari Camp by Kakadu

On a water-buffalo station on the Mary River floodplain by Kakadu, Bamurru Plains is an off-grid safari camp of 12 mesh-walled bungalows, all-inclusive with communal dining, a pool and airboat and river safaris.

A genuine Australian safari on the floodplain

Bamurru Plains is an off-grid safari camp on a working water-buffalo station on the Mary River floodplain at the edge of Kakadu National Park, with more than 300 square kilometres of exclusive access, open February to October with no Wi-Fi, mobile or television. It has 12 lodgings, from mesh-walled Eco Bungalows and solid-walled Safari Bungalows to the larger Kingfisher Suite and the Jabiru Retreat with a private plunge pool.

Dining is all-inclusive and communal from the main lodge, with three chef-prepared meals daily using native and regional produce, an open bar and sundowner canapes, and private dining for the top lodgings. There is a shared wet-edge saltwater pool and the Jabiru plunge pool. Experiences run as daily guided seasonal safaris, from airboat safaris and croc-spotting river cruises to sundowner safaris, guided walks, 4WD drives and birdwatching. Part of the Intrepid and Wild Bush Luxury family, it suits couples and adults, wildlife and birdlife enthusiasts who want a genuine off-grid Australian safari, with small groups via the top lodgings.

A note on experience

This suits you if you want a genuine off-grid Australian safari. Settle into a mesh-walled bungalow, head out on airboat safaris and river cruises spotting crocs, and watch the magpie-goose migration. Dine communally on native produce, cool off in the saltwater pool, and switch off entirely. It is off-grid and wildlife-first, open February to October. Good for couples, adults and wildlife enthusiasts.
