Rock art tens of thousands of years old still visible on the escarpment, saltwater crocodiles cruising billabongs you watch from a very safe boat, and a wet season the rest of the year that turns the whole park into wetland.

The best time to visit Kakadu & the Top End is May–Sep, when typical daytime highs reach about 31°C (87°F).
