All of Odyssey's private camps (Minjungari, Gunlom and Mardugal) are equipped with our purpose-built "Safari Tents". They are locally designed for our tropical climate. The walls are of canvas and the windows of insect screen. The floors are wood and are raised above the ground. They have been specifically designed to keep cool and comfortable.
A tent has two standard size single beds, each with a traditional Australian bushman's swag and high density mattress, linen, blankets and pillow. A different type of camp is set up in more remote locations - consisting of 2m x 2m x 2m dome tents with bushman's swags and stretcher beds.
Minjungari (min - joon - yaree)This campsite, exclusive to Odyssey Tours & Safaris, is situated in an isolated area of Litchfield National Park, covering some 200 hectares with the most beautiful outlook over Minjungari billabong. Facilities include insect-proof dining shelter, permanently erected tents, solar hot water for showers, composting toilets etc. Here at Minjungari you can immerse yourself in one of the most popular parks of the Top End.
Gunlom Safari CampGunlom, located in the southern reaches of Kakadu National Park, gained worldwide recognition as the beautiful "Echo Pool' in the movie Crocodile Dundee. Although it is a "regulated" camping area open to the general public, in an isolated corner of the camping area we have established our own private safari camp. Facilities also include an insect-proof dining shelter, permanently erected tents, and a public amenity block with solar hot water for showers and flushing toilets etc.
MardugalSituated in central Kakadu and only five minutes' drive from the world famous Yellow Water wetlands, Mardugal is the ideal central location for exploring areas such as Jim Jim and Twin Falls, Barramundi Gorge, Nourlangi Rock & Ubirr. As with the Gunlom camp, our Mardugal camp is contained in a regulated camping area with our camp quite isolated from others, and has the same facilities as Gunlom.
Koolpin Gorge (Jarrangbarnim)Described by some as the "Jewel in the Crown of Kakadu", Koolpin is found in remote southern Kakadu. Due to highly restricted access we either establish a mobile camp or enter Koolpin on a day basis from Gunlom Camp, just an hour away by four wheel drive.
In keeping with its wilderness standing Koolpin has very limited facilities. A composting toilet is supplied and a bush shower is used but don't let the lack of facilities turn you off camping here. This is a breathtaking, isolated area still in a pristine wilderness state. Koolpin Creek flows down several hundred feet through a series of cascades and pools often called the "Giant's Staircase". We spend time in this spectacular area photographing its grandeur, swimming in beautiful, clear pools and learning about some incredible Aboriginal rock art sites.
Arnhem LandDavidson's Arnhem Land Safaris Camp at Mount Borradaile is a quality camp and as such is utilised for all safaris into Arnhem Land. Owners Max and Phillippa Davidson are fellow Savannah Guide members. Davidson's provide high standard facilities including permanently erected purpose-built safari tents, hot showers and dining shelter. It is approximately two hours' drive from Jabiru. Wet Season access is possible by light aircraft.
NipbamjenThis camp is located on the southern part of the of Arnhem Land plateau. Tours into this region are very much focused on Aboriginal lore and culture. While touring here you will be led by Manyallaluk Aboriginal Site Guides along with our own experienced Odyssey Guide. The camp is normally reserved for use on our scheduled two - day Nipbamjen tour and is in use on Wednesdays and Saturdays. It is possible to charter the camp on days other than these or with advance notice.
Nipbamjen is a "dry" area and alcohol must not under any circumstances be taken into the area. The camp is two hours by four wheel drive from the Manyallaluk Community which in turn is one-and-a-half hours' drive from Katherine. Katherine is a one-hour flight from Darwin. Accommodation is a simple yet comfortable bush safari camp with permanently erected hut/tents. Facilities include showers and toilets and a dining shelter.
