Safari through rugged Mt Borradaile
Mt Borradaile is a remote 700 square-kilometre, exclusively leased Safari Lodge nestled against the Arnhem Land escarpment.
This landscape of rugged ranges is fringed by idyllic billabongs, boasting a stunningly beautiful wilderness and the cultural landscape of the Aboriginal people. Valleys, overhangs and caves have been occupied for 50,000 years with world-class galleries of rock art, and occupation and burial sites. To the traditional owners, Mt Borradaile is a sacred place and the embodiment of ancestral heroes.
Itineraries are flexible, with activities fully guided due to the sacred nature of the area. All ages will enjoy the bird watching; billabong cruises; barramundi fishing; rock art galleries; 4WD adventures; learning about bush tucker and medicine; exploring catacombs; paperbark swamps and rainforests; wildlife and exotic flora spotting; and swimming. All activities are within 30 minutes’ drive from the base camp and are included in the price.
