The Savannah Way invites travellers from across the globe to discover a world of breathtaking natural beauty, rich Aboriginal culture, unique outback experiences, and diverse landscapes.

Stretching over 3,700 kilometres, the route forges a scenic link between the lively, tropical city of Cairns in Tropical North Queensland and the historic pearling town of Broome in Western Australia’s Kimberley region. Along the way, this legendary route traverses the vast and vibrant scenes of Australia’s tropical savannahs and the Northern Territory’s Top End, where holidaymakers will discover dramatic gorges and waterfalls, big river systems, and iconic wildlife that defines the Australian outback.
