Charter North 4WD Safaris

We, a family of five with three kids (12,10 and 5) had an amazing 6 days trip to Kakadu, Nitmiluk and Litchfield with G. T.and Charter North a few weeks ago. The communication before the trip was great, and once we met G. T.and hopped in the car early the first day, we started a brilliant camping trip across the beautiful area around Darwin.

G. T.has years and years of experience guiding people in this area and it really shows: whenever we had a question, he could tell us all details about the nature and/or indigenous culture. He also showed us the most important cultural sites and explained the story behind the life of the indigenous population of Australia. G. T.also is a very careful driver, and our children were not car sick for the first time in a long time.

The campsites were well picked and varied between "full facilities" on one end and "no facilities" on the other. Especially the latter was an amazing experience as it felt like we were camping in the middle of nowhere with only stars above and nature around us. Sleeping in swags in dome-tents made it even more special.

Our three kids also really enjoyed the trip and G. T.made sure that we only took on as much walking as was suited for us. Unfortunately, one of the kids was not feeling well most of the trip, otherwise we would have been able to do some more challenging hikes.

The food was great, too, and both breakfast and dinner prepared lovingly on the camp fire. Every day we had a have a different healthy dinner (made from scratch on the open fire!) and it was always tasty. We had barramundi, jacket potatoes, salad and corn on the first night, stirfry the 2nd, pasta bolognese the 3rd, fried rice the 4th and lamb roast the 5th night. Lunch was healthy and filling too: sandwiches or wraps and lots of fruit and veggies. G. T.also continuously checked if we needed something else and made sure to remind us to drink enough water.
The kids loved the campfires and especially roasting marshmallows ;-)

Thanks a lot for the great trip Charter North and especially G. T.

Unfortunately had a very rude altercation with one of their drivers in Karijini today. Decided to blast me through my window driving inside my campground loop threatening me not to make enemies here! Extremely unprofessional to make threats from a work car. He was driving the wrong way around a one way loop as well. Wouldn't want to splash cash with a company with such self-righteous tour guides! I am shocked and disappointed Charter North.
