Cape York Safaris

Cape York Safaris

Australian outback safaris in rugged Cape York, Far North Queensland, offer an exhilarating alternative to traditional African safaris. With abundant wildlife, breathtaking landscapes, and thrilling outdoor adventures, it’s no wonder that even African safari leaders make the journey to Cape York from Cairns for a taste of the action!

Whether you prefer roughing it in a tent or indulging in accommodation, Cape York safaris cater to every adventurer’s preference. Picture yourself navigating muddy off-road tracks in a four-wheel drive, exploring the pristine waters of the Torres Strait, casting a line for barramundi or marlin, or spotting crocodiles and other native wildlife in their natural habitats.

Alternatively, embark on a live-aboard Great Barrier Reef island cruise, where you can indulge in birdwatching, sample outback cooking, and immerse yourself in ancient Indigenous culture and Australian history. From rugged outback adventures to luxurious island getaways, Cape York safaris offer a diverse range of experiences amidst the region’s untouched natural beauty and vast open spaces.

Cape York safari tours and self-drive 4WD adventures are most popular from May to October, outside the monsoon season when heavy rains and flooding can make some roads impassable. Equipped with comfortable, air-conditioned 4WD vehicles featuring the latest safety and communication equipment, you can rest assured that your journey will be both safe and comfortable.

Knowledgeable driver guides provide educational and eye-opening narration throughout your safari, offering insights and anecdotes that no map or guidebook can compare to. Whether you’re a seasoned adventurer or a first-time explorer, Cape York safaris promise an unforgettable journey through some of Australia’s most stunning landscapes.
