We're in Yekke season, May to June, and it's a beautiful moment in the park's calendar. The wet season rains have cleared, the air is cooler, and the landscape is lush and green after all that water. The Bininj/Mungguy people know this as the time of "big mob dragonflies," and if you've ever done a Yellow Water Cruise during Yekke, you'll know exactly what they mean.

Whether you're after a guided river cruise, a cultural centre visit, rock art walks, fishing, scenic flights, or simply the experience of waking up in one of the world's great wilderness areas, Yekke season awaits you.

Great news - Mamukala wetlands is now open!

This special area is one of Kakadu's great birdwatching spots, and the bird hide makes it accessible for everyone. Shaded, wheelchair-friendly, and positioned right where the action is.
No binoculars required. Just show up.
