The private areas used within the public campgrounds have been leased and the income is fed back into the National Park. Kakadu is jointly managed under the direction of a Board of Management, which has an Aboriginal majority representing the traditional owners.

Community
The company is based in Darwin and operate throughout this northern region of Australia. The guides are all people who live locally. Particularly Mandy Muir, a traditional Murumburr woman who provides guiding on Day 3 of the tour. Mandy Muir is a descendant of the Murumburr clan Umbukarla language. She grew up in Kakadu National Park, her grandfather's country. She also has an affiliation to the Yanyuwa people of the Borroloola area, the Wardaman people of the Katherine area, and the Marrin people of the Liverpool River in Arnhem Land. Though using Aboriginal guides not only gives them the opportunity to share their knowledge and culture, this provides income and employment for the community.
Our camp hosts are there to provide healthy delicious meals cooked in camp ovens and in the open fire. Enjoy meals all locally sourced such as Barramundi, Roast Lamb and Steak, damper and sticky date pudding. You will be amazed at what the hosts can do with their bush facilities.
We invite every traveller who books a holiday via us to send in a review. Because we don't run the holidays they're completely independent and unedited... remember to read between the lines though, as two people on the same holiday can have different views!
