Each year in the ‘wet season’, usually January to March, the floodplains are replenished with the monsoonal rains and the flora, fauna and fish of the Top End spring to life. Fish the coastal floodplains by airboat or river boat on the Sampan River. Anglers staying at Bamurru Plains during the fishing period will also appreciate the abundant wildlife around Bamurru with wallabies and wild buffalo in the surrounding savannah country, excellent fishing - and brilliant sunsets as flocks of birds return to roost.

Accommodation at Bamurru Plains
Bamurru Plains was designed for discerning people who are looking for an Australian luxury safari experience away from the mainstream, or people wishing to take that ‘once in a life time adventure.’ This beautiful Safari Camp was built with intimacy and authenticity in mind, ensuring that guest’s space is not encroached upon by scheduled tour groups.

The luxury safari suites are located among Pandanus and Savannah bush with sweeping views across the wetlands. Each safari suite has a private ensuite, is perched on a raised timber platform and is designed to blend with the surrounding bushland. The morning chorus of tens of thousands of Magpie Geese, after whom the camp is named, is an experience in itself.

Sit back and relax in your room which has been designed with the outside in mind so that you can literally see and hear what is around you and have a sense of closeness to the environment. With no telephones, televisions, CD players or the typical features of a hotel room to distract you, your focus turns to the surrounding environment. Relax by the pool with a long cool drink and watch the evening in this pristine wilderness unfold as only untouched nature knows how.

The concept is simple - we have focused on key creature comforts, a supremely comfortable bed, 100% cotton linen, large soft bath towels, a high pressure shower and have provided lots of space for you to feel the freedom.

With just 9 safari suites built amongst the savannah bush fringing the floodplains, the camp is exclusive and guests will not see other tourists on the property. Make time to enjoy all the facilities on hand, including a library and bar, dining area, outdoor deck and swimming pool.
