About Charter North 4WD Safaris
Charter North 4WD Safaris is a Darwin-based guided touring company with more than 30 years of experience leading small groups and private parties through some of Australia's most spectacular and remote wilderness. Its core territory spans the Top End and Kimberley: think Kakadu National Park's rock art and waterfalls, Litchfield's swimming holes, Katherine Gorge's towering sandstone walls, Jim Jim and Twin Falls, the Gibb River Road, the Bungle Bungles, Mitchell Falls, and WA's rugged Karijini. Tours range from 2-day short breaks to comprehensive 10-day safaris, with two accommodation styles — camping under the stars at remote sites, or fully accommodated options in wilderness lodges and safari-style cabins. Meals, expert guiding, and 4WD transport are included, and the small group format means a high guide-to-guest ratio that very few operators match. Australian and international visitors consistently rate the depth of guide knowledge, the quality of camp cooking, and the breathtaking remoteness of the landscapes as genuinely extraordinary.
