Your Tour Guide Hamish – Sugarbag Safaris

Your tour guide, Hamish, started Sugarbag Safaris in 2011 to share his passion for this fantastic and diverse part of Australia with all who travel with him.
He is known for his devotion to the environment and eclectic knowledge of the Top End’s local flora, fauna, history and culture.
Hamish is a Brolga Award-winning and Eco-certified guide with over 25 years of experience guiding his guests through Litchfield, Nitmiluk and the World Heritage-listed Kakadu National Park in the Top End of the Northern Territory.

” Whether your interest is bird watching, nature and wildlife photography, bushwalking, bush tucker, local history… or just soaking in all the Top End has to offer, Hamish’s expertise will ensure you an in-depth experience like no other. Hamish is renowned for his commitment to customer safety, passion for the outdoors, and his sense of humour – as well as for cooking up a mean steak over the coals.”

Happy days!
It's getting so close now to that time of the year.
I can't wait to get back up in a chopper and see Jim Jim and Twin Falls pumping this wet season.

This has to be one of the best starts to exploring Ubirr ever.
We got to watch this Joey, Wilkins' Rock Wallaby, having a bit brekky, while Mum and Dad were hanging off to the side.

Had a few days off, so headed back out to Kakadu. My early morning start was rewarded with nearly two hours of having Ubirr all to myself. #awayfromthecrowds #ubirr #sugarbagsafaris 🥾 🎨 🤠

It definitely pays to be careful around any body of water. Found this one just in a culvert on the side of the road, might be a mum too, was a few young ones hanging around.

Hamish's knowledge of the local geography, flora and fauna, history and the Aboriginal... read more cultures added depth and interest to the sites we saw. He spent time with me prior to the trip to learn what my interests were and developed an itinerary that matched my interests well. The time with him, driving, hiking, eating - all exceptional and interesting. A good person all the way through and it was a total pleasure to get to know him and share ourselves with him ( I was with a close friend and workmate). I came away from this trip feeling like I begin to know Kakadu and the Top End of Australia and look forward to returning for more adventure. 

All in all, I highly recommend Hamish as a tour guide to Kakadu National Park.
