4 nightsKANGAROO ISLAND

The final stop on your Australian food safari is Kangaroo Island, the country’s third-largest island and a haven for lovers of wildlife and food in equal measure. A third of the island is covered in national parks, where creatures such as fur seals, koalas and echidnas roam alongside the eponymous kangaroos. The island is also something of a gourmet hotspot. Making the most of the abundant marine life in the surrounding ocean, there’s a number of top-class seafood restaurants, and plenty of cheese and honey courtesy of the island’s many highly-rated artisan producers. Kangaroo Island also punches above its weight when it comes to viticulture, with several wineries producing acclaimed wines. You can experience the best of Kangaroo Island’s nature and gastronomy with a food & wildlife safari, taking in walks and drives in the national parks as well as visits to wineries and producers. You’ll spend 4 nights at Lifetime Retreats, a luxurious collection of villas surrounded by pristine wilderness on the island’s northern coast. Your journey has then reached its end, and you’ll be taken by private transfer to Kingscote for your onward journey.
