When to go

The time of year matters:

 

Best season

The dry season (approximately May to September) is the best period to visit. The very best period of the dry season is the late part. That's September (and sometimes that phase extends into early October). Wildlife concentrates around the diminishing waterholes. As a bonus, you'll avoid the busy tourist season, from mid-June to August.

 

Worst season

The wet season (roughly November to March) is the worst season. Although the vegetation is green and lush, the weather is typically uncomfortably hot, humid and rainy. What's more, wildlife spotting opportunities significantly decrease. And many driving tracks (including those to the famous waterfalls) become impassable.

Kakadu was the setting for many Crocodile Dundee film scenes.
