The world heritage listed Kakadu National Park lies east of Darwin and is a very special place. Discover within its boundaries an entire river with all the associated ecosystems and experience an ancient culture up to 40,000 years old. Anytime is a good time to visit. Apr-May finds the country side still fresh from recent rains and alive with growth. Jun-Sep brings clear blue skies, access to most areas as rivers recede and the coolest months to visit. Oct-Dec is the hottest time and is the best time for wildlife watching. Jan-Mar sees the most rainfall but to see the landscape come alive with waterfalls and the spectacular lightning storms on the horizon is a once in a lifetime opportunity.
