Kakadu Bird Week
Wed 23 – Sun 27 September 2026
Bird Week is a spectacular event that coincides with the dramatic mass migration of magpie geese. These magnificent birds flock to the billabongs, like Yellow Water (Ngurrungurrudjba), to feed, creating a breathtaking spectacle as the waters recede towards the end of the dry season. This is the perfect time to witness not only the diverse birdlife but also Kakadu's impressive array of exotic wildlife, including crocodiles, buffalo, brumbies, and wallabies.
