Arnhem Land

Arnhem Land is a vast and unspoilt region in the northeast corner of the NT. Occupied by Aboriginal people for over 60,000 years, it extends from the Roper River in the Gulf, right around the east and north coasts to the border of Kakadu. The strong, continuing culture of its Indigenous inhabitants fascinates most, as does the beautiful landscape of rugged ranges, idyllic billabongs, monsoonal rainforest and paper bark swamps.

With permission from Traditional Owners, Outback Spirit has established a network of luxurious wilderness lodges and safari camps, granting passengers access through the heart of this wild and mystical land. Join us and become one of the few to uncover its rich culture, pristine landscape and abundant wildlife.
