Douglas - Daintree
Rainforest - Outback Australia the David Armbrust wildlife safari
Australian Natural History
Safari is a Port Douglas
based, four-wheel drive, rainforest and outback tour. It is owned and
operated by local naturalists and wildlife enthusiasts David & Diane Armbrust.
Our highly personalised excursions
are limited to a maximum sized group of four to provide you with a quality experience
observing the wildlife of the wet tropical Daintree
rainforest and the outback of Northern Australia.
We
provide only one tour per day with a choice of a full day
rainforest and outback safari
or a half
day rainforest tour.
On both tours morning tea with the wildlife
is provided in our bush shelter hidden in the rainforest.
We utilize our own rainforest property
in the mountains to the west of Port Douglas (1.5 hours north of Cairns) to
provide you with an
unforgettable wildlife experience.
The day begins here
with a slow morning walk through our
private rainforest where normally
shy and timid marsupials and birds emerge from their natural rainforest habitat to greet us.
If you
have chosen to experience our
full day safari you will continue on from Thylogale to enjoy an excellent
lunch in the montane wilderness.
Lunch is held at the confluence
of two streams in the
secluded rainforest of the World Heritage listed Mount Lewis
State Forest.
The afternoon on the full day
safari is a total contrast in both eco-systems and wildlife.
As the day
cools we come down out of the mountains and travel further west to provide
you with a glimpse at the vastness of the dry eucalypt forest of the
Australian
outback.
Our tour
vehicle is a discreet, comfortable
and well appointed
Toyota Landcruiser GXL four wheel drive.
For your comfort and safety
it has been
modified from a 7 passenger down to a 4 passenger. It is well suited for
venturing off the beaten track into
areas not visited by mainstream tourism.
Please note: On
this day there is no
opportunity to shop for souvenirs etc.
By taking only
four clients per tour we maximize
your wildlife encounters and guarantee you a private and personal day.
For
those with limited time the morning section of the
full day safari provides a highly enjoyable half day
rainforest & wildlife experience.
All guiding is done by myself
David Armbrust.
