Cairns - Port 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.
