The Tailor Tours

Lords Kakadu Arnhemland Safaris

Overview

Main Information

Lord’s Safaris offers tailor-made 4WD journeys throughout Kakadu and Arnhem Land. Catering only to small groups, it is one of Australia’s most highly-regarded interpretive experiences enjoying access to the exceptional country.

The key to the operation is founder Sab Lord, who was raised in remote Kakadu before it became a national park. As such, Sab has a real connection with both the land and the indigenous people of this region: he and his team of expert guides are fortunate to be able to share their knowledge and respect for the local Aboriginal culture.

Travelling through Kakadu and Arnhem Land with your private guide, you have the opportunity to experience remarkable landscapes, traditional culture and amazing examples of 40,000-year-old rock art. Lords’ Safaris will also help you discover the amazing wildlife of the Top End including crocodiles, water buffalo, wallabies, brolgas, jabiru and magpie geese.

Depending on your preferred accommodation style, Lord’s Safaris can tailor your itinerary to include nights spent camping out in the wilderness, utilise hotel/lodge accommodation, or a combination of both.
