El Questro is on the eastern perimeter of the Kimberley and runs for approximately eighty kilometres into the heart of the region, most of which has never been explored and certainly never settled. The Kimberley region in far North Western Australia is one of the world's last unspoilt frontiers. It is an ancient land extending from Broome in the South West to Kununurra and Wyndham near the Northern Territory border. The experiences are unforgettable: rugged ranges, broad tidal flats, rainforest pockets, gorges and waterfalls. The Kimberley is special. It is not rare to feel the sense of discovery that you are the first to arrive.

An El Questro Ranger is your host on this 2 day safari.
Starting at the King River Road, an old station track that links with the Karunjie Track together circumnavigating the entire Cockburn Range, your safari ventures into the north of El Questro’s million acres, an area of unbounded beauty. After a unique gourmet lunch on the El Questro mud flats, you then enter the grass plains that resemble terrain found on the Serengeti or the Masai Mara.

Your overnight accommodation is comfortable yet simple. Lodging is provided in an airy “Goondi”, all with private ensuites, surrounding a central dining, living and entertainment area. Overlooking the gigantic estuarine tidal waters of the West Arm and El Questro’s prime cattle country, the perfect launching spot for a chance at catching large Barramundi and Mud Crabs.

The return journey to the El Questro Valley follows the Pentecost River south along the Karunjie Track, a secluded stock route rarely travelled.
