Kakadu is alive with wildlife like nowhere else in Australia 🐊🦜 From saltwater crocodiles basking along the billabongs to magpie geese, jabirus and colourful kingfishers filling the skies, the wetlands here are a living sanctuary. Keep your eyes peeled for agile wallabies, wandering buffaloes and even the occasional dingo exploring the floodplains. With more than 280 bird species and countless reptiles and mammals, Kakadu is a true haven for nature lovers and photographers alike.

From breathtaking waterfalls to ancient rock art, Kakadu holds the stories of the world’s oldest living culture.
Each painting reveals knowledge, tradition, and connection to Country, cared for by the Bininj and Mungguy people for over 65,000 years.

👣 Walk softly, learn respectfully, and let the stories of Kakadu stay with you.

A journey through Kakadu is a journey through time ⏳

From ancient rock art sites that share 65,000 years of living culture, to vast floodplains glowing at sunset and waterfalls tumbling through red escarpments, every moment here tells a story. Cruise the billabongs, hike to hidden lookouts, and feel the spirit of Country all around you. Kakadu isn’t just a place you visit, it’s a place that stays with you.
