Accessible and inclusive tourism

  Our 6 day tour of Kakadu, Nitmiluk and Litchfield National Parks with Hamish as our guide, surpassed all our expectations. The six days were packed with breathtaking experiences to the... read more point that it was tough to name our top 3 spots on the tour. We were often the first people at a site, making each stop really special.
Hamish is an outstanding guide with exceptional knowledge of the beautiful landscape, flora and fauna. We learnt a lot! Camping under the stars with our very comfy swags, will be a lasting memory of the tempo of the bush around us and the stars and moon above us as we drifted off to sleep. Hamish is a great cook (great vegetarian options!) and seemed to intuitively understand how to pace the trip and give us family time along the way. His insight into the Aboriginal communities and way of life gave us all a perspective that we had not considered. He also adjusted when we had special requests. Thanks Hamish for taking me to Alex and Petrenas Top Didj gallery. I came away with art that I will treasure always!
If you want to immerse yourself in a truely wonderful experience, bypass the big tour groups and make your Kakadu experience one to remember, we all recommend Hamish. Big thanks!

  We just came off 5 awesome days camping in Kakadu with Sugarbag Safaris. It was just the four of us- two adults, a 16 year old and a 14 year... read more old. The camping was great - amazing to be able to just relax and take it all in while someone else (thanks again Hamish!) fed the kids. The food was delicious, healthy, fresh and plentiful. The swags were comfy but best of all was falling asleep under the immense, starry Kakadu sky. Each day was a gradual build up to the next, with the ultimate being access to a permit only, pristine paradise on day 4. Hamish was able to tell us the name of every animal we spotted as well as help us understand local culture and practices. A highlight was the thousands of years old artwork etched into rocky galleries - such a privilege to be able to see these places of living history and have them explained. Hamish was super patient with our many questions, friendly, kind, thoughtful and attentive. He is the real deal, having spent decades in the NT, he seems to know everyone important to know and be able to open doors for us to have a great experience. He talked about having lived with Aboriginal communities in Arnhem Land and he was so generous with his knowledge and had a lot of wisdom to share. He was really lovely to be around for five days- a great influence on our teenage boys who demonstrated a capacity to be organised and healthy under his watch! He himself was super organised and the experience was authentic yet comfortable. I really can’t say enough good things about Hamish and Sugarbag Safaris- it’s been a peak experience for our family and a fantastic circuit breaker for our teens in this day and age where they’re mostly glued to their tech. We actually had two whole days without reception so it was a great chance to switch off. And 5 whole days of being pleasant to each other! This was really, truly wonderful. Hamish, there aren’t enough words. Thank you a million times!
