Bamurru Plains
Welcome to Bamurru Plains, the all-inclusive Australian safari camp in the Northern Territory’s tropical Top End, home to some of the country’s most spectacular and diverse bird and wildlife.
The true luxury of Bamurru Plains is its location. This beautiful wilderness region of over 300 square kilometres is home to one of the largest crocodile populations in the world, and the annual migration of over one hundred thousand magpie geese – an incredible sight and sound to behold.
Off the beaten track from the regular tourist path, Bamurru Plains is off-grid and located on a water buffalo station. The infrastructure of our lodge occupies a small footprint, with only twelve safari-style accommodation lodgings sharing exclusive access to the floodplain and savanna woodland on the Mary River, on the edge of Kakadu National Park.
All-inclusive wildlife experience
A stay at Bamurru is bound to inspire a greater awareness of Australia’s unique and specialised environment. Watch as hundreds of birds take flight, scan the shallows for saltwater crocodiles as you skim across floodplains by airboat, or cruise the Sampan River watching for silver flashes of fish breaking the surface. On guided walks and drives search for brumbies, buffalo, dingos and wallabies or pause to consider an intriguing reptile or the adaptations of a particular insect.
The Wild Bush Luxury influence brings a uniquely Australian style to each stay: a down-to-earth yet attentive level of service, fully-inclusive chef-prepared meals paired with Australian wines, and a team of hosts and guides who are passionate and knowledgeable about the local area and its wildlife.
Rewild in your own oasis
Sleep in safari-style comfort in our bush camp bungalows and retreats, designed to immerse you in an untamed natural environment from the moment you wake up. Whether travelling as a couple, a family or a group, there are options to suit all.
Sleep in safari style
Bamurru Plains has a small footprint, with only ten safari bungalows and two larger safari private retreats: the Kingfisher Suite and Jabiru Retreat.
Each overlook the floodplain and with the unique feature of mesh walls, you can hear, see and almost touch the wildlife and wilderness around you, waking to the call of the magpie geese as the orange light of dawn spreads across the floodplains.
At night, there are no city sights or sounds, just the chorus of the Australian bush, while agile wallabies and buffalo move by in silhouette against the moon.
