Lord's Kakadu and Arnhemland Safaris is a small family owned company based in Darwin, specialising in day tours within Kakadu National Park and extended charters throughout the Top End of Northern Territory including Arnhemland. Sab Lord was raised in the remote Arnhemland region prior to it being declared a National Park. Due to growing up with many of the local Aboriginals, Sab is fortunate to share a mutual respect with them, and it is this which has been instrumental in Lords Safaris gaining sole access to some exceptional country in Arnhem Land.
Lords Safaris have been involved closely with training and employment of local Aboriginal people from the Oenpelli region to partake as guides at Injalak Hill. These guides give a special experience to our Australian and overseas visitors by showing them around Injalak, acknowledged as one of the best rock art sites in Western Arhemland.
Lords Safaris also works closely with a award winning camps through out Arnhemland. We work with the Bawinanga Aboriginal Corporation at Maningrida and the Barramundi Nature Lodge. We also offer tours to Gove where you can meet Timmy Djawa Burarrwanga and experience the Bawaka cultural Tour. We can offer ground touring into Jabiru then you can either fly off into the heart of Arnhemland or take the entire trip by 4WD.
Lords is also working with Bamurru Plains, this new Africa style safaris camp with each room having its own Ensuite bathroom is situated on the edge of Kakadu it is the newest style of Wild Bush Luxury in the Top End.
