Bamurru Plains Safari Lodges, Northern Territory

A style of accommodation more akin to some of the safari camps in Africa, but new to Australia, Bamurru Plains’ attraction lies in the wonderful diversity and sheer volume of bird, reptile and wildlife of the surrounding floodplains and savannah woodland. This fragile ecosystem is alive with an extraordinary variety of birdlife and wildlife. Agile wallabies, dingoes, brumbies, buffalo and goannas are all regular sightings, however, it is the prolific birdlife that makes this area a unique nature attraction. With the annual monsoon, the floodwaters from Arnhem Land usher in an annual cycle of environmental rebirth and the floodplains are replenished with water and life. As the year progresses, the waters retreat and the vast plains come into view again.

Please note: Bamurru Plains is closed 01 November - 31 January each year. The camp is not suitable for children under 12 years.

Bamurru’s chef prepares delicious meals which are shared around a communal dining table with your fellow travellers, hosts and guides. Lunch is often served on the deck, perhaps a BBQ, cooked as you refresh yourself in the swimming pool.

Bamurru appreciate that whilst an exclusive bush experience doesn’t need to be five-star in the traditional sense, there are key elements to an exclusive stay in the bush: supreme bedding, quality linen, great bathrooms, superb food and wine and excellent guiding.
