BAMURRU PLAINS, KAKADU NATIONAL PARK
TEEMING WILDLIFE
Timber platform suites with a touch of luxury, yes. But the real focus is on exotic birds and teeming wildlife.
Your Safari Suite is built on a raised platform that blends quietly into the surrounding savannah bush, and stands on the very edge of unspoiled floodplains – a natural playground for a huge variety of birds and indigenous wildlife. So you can expect close encounters with nature in its many forms. Dawn will break to a raucous medley provided by blue-winged kookaburras, soon to be followed by the haunting calls of whistling kites and huge clouds of magpie geese. You will see water buffalo splashing through the wetlands, crocs, dingos, wallabies, possums and any number of reptiles.

“EXPERTLY TAILORED, EFFORTLESSLY ENJOYABLE”
We travelled to Indochina in January/February with an itinerary designed by The Ultimate Travel Company – and it was spot on. Rob, our consultant, really understood what we were looking for and created a journey that suited us perfectly. The choice of hotels was excellent, and the pace was just right, with enough time built in to relax and recharge between the different experiences. The service throughout was professional, personal and thoughtful – exactly what you want from a travel specialist.
“INDIA AT ITS MOST INCREDIBLE”
Unbelievably brilliant from start to finish. The Ultimate Travel Company gave us complete flexibility while tailoring the trip to our personal preferences. Communication was excellent throughout, and the in-country team in India was super-efficient at every stage. The quality of the experience was exceptional – and the value for money, remarkable. From expert naturalists to thrilling wildlife encounters (tigers, leopards, 140 species of birds), awe-inspiring temples, the Taj Mahal, scenic walks and warm, welcoming people – not to mention the fantastic curry – it was a truly superb holiday. “Ultimate” really is “The Ultimate Travel Company”!
“THREE HOLIDAYS IN AND STILL HIGHLY RECOMMEDED”
Dan Mills organised perfectly a challenging itinerary to incorporate a wedding we were attending in Kathmandu. A fantastic balance of trekking, rafting, safari, sightseeing and R&R. This was our third holiday with Ultimate Travel and we cannot recommend highly enough
