With a small group of maximum 8 people, this safari is perfect for those who want to get off the beaten track for a truly authentic Kimberley experience.
Three times larger than England and with a population of less than 40,000, the Kimberley region – spread over Australia’s entire north-western corner – is one of the world’s largest wilderness frontiers. Despite the region’s remoteness, you will find fascinating geological formations, vast lakes, majestic gorges, cascading waterfalls and prolific wildlife.

You will then have 2 nights at Bungle Bungle Wilderness Lodge. With local Indigenous guides, get up close with the mysterious Bungle Bungle massif, beehive domes “lost” to the world until the 1980s. While in the area, you will explore the fascinating landscapes of Cathedral Gorge and Echidna Chasm before making your way back to Kununurra via Lake Argyle and the colossal Argyle Diamond Mine.
Next, take a flight north to the Kimberley Coast, where you will get the ultimate bird’s eye view of one of Australia’s most spectacular waterfalls, the four-tiered Punamii-Unpuu (Mitchell) Falls. You will then have 2 nights at the Mitchell Falls Wilderness Lodge.
This immersive 7-day package includes 6-nights’ unique accommodation in Kununurra, Purnululu National Park, and Mitchell Falls on a twin share basis. Meals and activities are included as specified in the itinerary.
