By car, the drive from Darwin to the Kakadu National Park will only set you back around an hour and 40 minutes. Many people will hire a caravan to make the trip, or make the drive and stay in a hotel, cabin or pitch a tent in a campsite, with the option of going old-school with a swag under the night sky. If you’re planning on coming during May to October (the region’s dry season), book early. However, visiting during November to April may see some sites flooded due to the wet season.
The traditional land owners of Kakadu recognise six distinct seasons within the region. Some variations to weather and plant life may be small to others, but to the Aboriginal people, could mean needing to relocate until a season has passed. For example, the Gudjewg season during December to March is known as Monsoon season, while April alone is known as Banggerreng, or ‘Knock ‘em down’ storm season.
Within Kakadu National Park, there is just own township, known as Jabiru. It’s 252km south east of Darwin, so stock up if you plan on making a trip.
