Our Private Billabong Cultural Camp In The Heart Of Kakadu

The Kakadu Billabong Safari Camp is located on the edge of a billabong complex along Jim Jim Creek, just 15 kilometres from Cooinda Lodge.

The Billabong Camp

Get away from the major tour spots and stay the night at our peaceful private camp, situated on the banks of our lily-filled billabong.


From the camp you can see many of the amazing wildlife species that Kakadu is famous for, including waterbirds and crocodiles, and you can experience the incredible atmosphere of our natural environment. Given the situation of the camp you get see woodland and floodplain animals, with interesting interactions – just watch as the wallabies come down to drink at the water’s edge and the particular care they take to avoid any lurking crocodiles!


Bookings available June to September.
