Bamurru Plains, Mary River Floodplain, Top End Northern Territory
Nestled within the rugged beauty of the Top End, Bamurru Plains stands as an all-encompassing Australian safari haven in the tropical northern region of the Northern Territory. Within this exotic and remote outback sanctuary, you have the opportunity to immerse yourself in the awe-inspiring array of Australia’s most stunning and diverse avian and wildlife.
Located away from the typical tourist routes, Bamurru Plains exists off the grid, offering just twelve safari-style lodging accommodations that grant exclusive access to a sprawling 300 square kilometres of floodplains and savanna woodland along the Mary River. This remarkable expanse borders the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Kakadu National Park.
Purposefully designed as an enclave on the outskirts of the floodplains, the accommodation is crafted to emulate a luxurious camp-style setting, with beds that echo the low-to-the-floor comfort of traditional bedding, complete with plush mattresses and high-quality linens.
The inception of Wild Bush Luxury was the brainchild of Charlie Carlow, driven by the notion of infusing a touch of elegance into each of the Australiana experiences it offers, all of which showcase the astounding diversity of Australia’s habitats.
Rather than the conventional notion of luxury lodges, the focus lies in presenting Australia’s unique habitats with a sense of authenticity, humility, and understated luxury. Charlie Carlow remarked, “Our approach involves venturing away from well-trodden paths, evading mainstream tourism, and spending time alongside individuals—particularly field guides—who possess genuine affection and expertise for the land. They carry a fervent desire to share their knowledge with guests.”
The moment you set foot on Bamurru Plains, you step into the capable care of ardent and qualified experts, all dedicated to delivering an extraordinary and enlightening encounter. The team at Bamurru Plains will accompany you as companions on a voyage of discovering the untamed wilderness, ensuring your journey is nothing short of exceptional.
