We’re excited to share that Litchfield Safari Camp has been recognised as a Top Stop in the latest travel article by Turo, the world’s largest car-sharing platform. Their feature, “Top Stops Along the Road Trip from Darwin to Cairns,” highlights must-visit locations along one of Australia’s most iconic drives — and we’re proud to be included.

If you’re planning a trip from Darwin to Cairns, Litchfield National Park is one of the first major natural attractions you’ll hit along the way — and for good reason. Just over an hour south of Darwin, this incredible park is home to some of the Top End’s most famous waterfalls, natural swimming holes, and ancient landscapes.

Why Litchfield National Park Should Be On Your Itinerary

Litchfield National Park offers a true taste of the Northern Territory’s natural beauty — minus the crowds you’ll find in other parts of the country. With no entry fee, it’s easy to access and full of unique highlights:

  • Florence and Wangi Falls – two of the most photographed and swimmable falls in the NT

  • Buley Rockhole – perfect for a refreshing dip and a picnic

  • Magnetic termite mounds – a surreal and unforgettable sight unique to this part of Australia

  • Scenic bushwalks through rugged terrain and tropical forest

And most importantly — there are no saltwater crocodiles in these swimming spots, so you can enjoy a safe, refreshing swim in nature.

Litchfield Safari Camp: Your Ideal Base

Turo named Litchfield Safari Camp as the top place to stay while exploring the park — and we couldn’t agree more!

Our camp is located just minutes from the western entry to Litchfield National Park, making it the perfect base for waterfall hopping, bushwalking, and exploring. Here’s what you’ll find when you stay with us:

  • Ensuite cabins for comfort seekers

  • Glamping tents for a stylish, close-to-nature experience

  • Shaded powered and unpowered campsites for traditional campers

  • A sparkling swimming pool for cooling off after a day of adventure

  • Campfires, BBQs, and outdoor spaces to relax and connect

  • Free Wi-Fi, hot showers, and spotless amenities

  • And most importantly — a friendly, welcoming team who love what they do

Whether you’re travelling solo, with friends, or bringing the family along, we’ve designed our camp to be a space where you can truly unwind and soak up the beauty of the Top End.

A Place to Make Memories

We’ve seen it time and time again — guests arriving tired from the road, only to be rejuvenated by a swim, a campfire under the stars, or a quiet morning coffee surrounded by nature. That’s what we love most about this place.

It’s more than a stop — it’s a place to pause, breathe, and reconnect.

We’re grateful to Turo for highlighting Litchfield Safari Camp in their article, and we hope it inspires more travellers to come and experience the magic of this part of the Northern Territory for themselves.
