Last reviewed · maps for orientation only — verify the Access Report
Use interactive maps for orientation only. Official park maps, the Access Report and NT Road Report always win — start at kakadu.gov.au. Main sealed corridors (Arnhem Highway, Kakadu Highway, Ubirr, Burrungkuy, Yellow Water / Cooinda, Jabiru) are 2WD most of the year. Maguk, Gunlom and many southern tracks are 4WD when open.
Kakadu National Park (overview)
Huge jointly managed park east of Darwin — sample precincts, do not try to “do the park” in a day. Zoom 8 is orientation only.
