Destination Profile - Mount Borradaile, Northern Territory
Discover the holiday adventure of a lifetime in a pristine wilderness environment where the Aboriginal presence encompasses more than 50,000 years. Ancient rock paintings in spectacular galleries depict indigenous history and aspects of the Dreamtime, the spiritual foundation of the Aboriginal culture.
Visitors of all ages and from all walks of life have the opportunity to gain access to this protected, highly restricted region via the honorary custodian status conferred on Max and Philippa Davidson of Davidson's Arnhemland Safaris by the traditional landowners of the Mount Borradaile area. Activities for all the family include bird watching, billabong cruises, barramundi fishing, visiting rock art galleries, swimming in crocodile free rockholes, bushwalking, 4 wheel drive adventure, bush tucker appreciation, photography, exploring catacombs, investigating paperbark swamps and rainforest, wildlife spotting and viewing the exotic flora in this fascinating ecosystem. Or you can just lay back and relax in the tranquility of a remote, pristine wilderness environment that is unmatched in its beauty and diversity. There is no set itinerary, you decide your own activities and our guides accommodate your choices.
Davidson's Arnhemland Safaris tours are fully guided at all times due to the sacred nature of the area, and our staff are fully committed to making your visit a safe and truly memorable experience. Master guide and consummate bushman Max Davidson (pictured right) is one of Australia's longest serving professional guides, with more than 25 years experience in the Top End of the Northern Territory. His passionate devotion to the Mount Borradaile region and its people has developed into a relationship of trust and respect with the traditional landowners that has resulted in an in-depth knowledge of the history and traditions of the area. Max is proud to be involved (in association with Savannah Guides) in the training of local indigenous people as accredited tour guides, a process that he believes will ultimately lead to full Aboriginal ownership and management of tourism facilities and activities at Mount Borradaile. In the place where a culture has achieved the longest existing continual human occupancy, Davidson's Arnhemland Safaris offers a truly unique experience.
