					  My partner and I travelled with Sugarbag Safaris for a 3 day, 2 nights tour in Kakadu.  Right from the first enquiry Hamish was very helpful and supportive and... read more determined what we would like to see and do.  With the threat of instant border closures from COVID outbreaks, Hamish remained adaptable.

We travelled with Hamish at the start of the wet season and the weather was not always in our favour.  Hamish remained easy going, relaxed and flexible and readily adapted to the changing conditions.  Hamish was very knowledgeable about the local aboriginal lore and culture, very observant with the local flora and fauna, and is an overall great guide.

The tour was well organised and featured picnic lunches which were well catered.

My partner and I have no hesitation in recommending Sugarbag Safaris to anyone who is looking for a guided tour of the top end.

					  We are just back from the 5 day/4 night camping safari with Hamish from Sugarbag safaris 

Great itinerary which captured the highlights of the 3 National Parks .

Hamish... read more is the most super organized, efficient, and fastidious tour guide I have ever met ! His Land Cruiser vehicle is immaculate and the inner workings of his trailer etc is a lesson in experience and organization ! He is also a pretty good cook which is no mean praise from me ! Menu was varied and plentiful. Particularly enjoyed the lunches - plenty of meat, salad, cheese and bread to fill the hungriest of travelers.

Hamish also proved himself to be amazing in a crisis  - he was calm collected, super kind and knowledgeable in the most stressful situation. For this we will be forever grateful.

Hamish also impressed me in his understanding of the complex social situations in the NT and provided interesting perspectives 

His knowledge of the flora and fauna was immense and I learnt a lot of very interesting things 

Hamish is a guide of great integrity and experience and I would recommend his trips for those wanting a genuine outback experience and don’t mind getting a bit of dirt under the fingernails
