How fit do I need to be?

Kakadu, Arnhem land and Litchfield are rough and rugged stone bush country. In many places we access and those listed in the itinerary, there are cleared walking tracks but not boardwalks or handrails. Some walks are over slippery and uneven ground, and we will always advise caution when walking over these surfaces. A reasonable level of fitness & stable footing is required for most locations in these itineraries and to make the most of the experience. Territory Expeditions has designed these tours for the fit and active.

To get the most out of this trip, you need to be prepared for walks of between 3 and 8 km on some days. This may be on rough ground, and perhaps your feet will get wet in rivers and creeks. From October to March, you will experience temperatures of over 35 degrees Celsius (and sometimes well into the 40s), so be prepared to endure extra physical stress due to the heat at these times, especially while on walks.

These extreme outside temperatures can also stress the air-conditioning units within our vehicles, making travelling uncomfortable. Your tour guide will provide regular breaks and information to help you stay well-hydrated.
