Jane Nicholls writes about the round-the-clock safari at Bamurru Plains in this week’s The Weekend Australian in an article detailing where animal lovers can go on ‘safari’ within Australia.
“From arriving at an airstrip near the lodge via small aircraft to sundowners, Bamurru Plains delivers the grand African safari Australian style. Astonishingly knowledgeable guides take us flying thrillingly across the floodplains in an airboat, magpie geese rising from the spike rushes all around. We head out on safari in an open 4WD, and take a speedboat ride along croc-rich Sampan Creek. Between safaris, we cool off in the infinity pool looking out over a giant flock of noisy plumed whistling ducks and clutches of crazy corellas. Meals are communal in the central pavilion, where an open bar kicks off the nightly entertainment, and guests trade stories of the day’s wonders. With some 236 species of birds about, twitchers are particularly vocal. The decor in the 10 bungalows deftly blends luxurious and rustic, with ingenious one-way screens letting us watch the passing parade of locals outside. Brumbies, buffalo, agile wallabies et al go about their business oblivious to our spying. This is a round-the-clock safari. Stay Bamurru Plains, part of the Wild Bush Luxury group, is open for guests March to October.”
