VIVA Holidays recently hosted a group of travel consultants on an action-packed Northern Territory famil to the Matt Wright Top End Safari Camp, beginning with a Charles Darwin Sunset Cruise (in Darwin!). The famil was facilitated by Matt Wright Explore the Wild, Mindil Beach Casino Resort and Hilton Darwin.
The group enjoyed lunch and a swim at Berry Springs Taverns before arriving at the Safari Camp, which offers glamping in deluxe Lotus Belle Tents complete with outdoor shower, private wooden deck and solar power. The camp itself also has a plunge pool, and a firepit deck overlooking the outback.
Highlights of the famil included a helicopter flight to Sweets Lagoon where they arrived on a pontoon in the middle of Crocodile Territory, and an intimate encounter with wild crocodiles in their natural habitat. Back at camp, the consultants also had the opportunity to meet got to meet Tripod, the resident 17ft Saltwater croc.
