A remote camping ground in the outback of Western Australia has been named one of the world’s must-visit destinations for 2020 by travel giant Flight Centre.
Imintji, an isolated oasis in the Kimberley region of WA, is ranked second in the 2020 WOW List, a collection of the world’s 50 best travel experiences for the year ahead.
The Kimberley is Western Australia’s most sparsely populated northern region known for its dramatic rugged gorges, ancient Aboriginal art, iconic boab trees and thundering waterfalls.
Glamping at the Bell Gorge Wilderness Lodge in Imintji near King Leopold Ranges, in the state’s ancient gorge and cattle farming region, is specifically recommended for adventure seekers as a unique opportunity to disconnect from the modern world.

Found on indigenous-owned land close to the Imintji Aboriginal community, the campsite is made up of luxury tented cabins with private decks, offering incredible views of the surrounding hills and bushland.
Each cabin has twin beds, a private bathroom with running water and outdoor furniture for guests to relax and take in the spectacular sunsets and sunrises which the Kimberley is famed for.
The camp is close to a wealth of natural attractions including majestic waterfalls, untouched bush walking trails, deep rock pools and hot springs.
Less than two hours drive along the Gibb River Road is the famous Bell Gorge, which is widely regarded as the Kimberley’s most beautiful mountainous valley.

The gateway to the Kimberley is the quirky beach resort of Broome, just a two and a half hour flight from Perth.
In Broome itself, guests can witness one of Australia’s ‘best sunsets’ over the stunning white sand Cable Beach, lapped by crystal clear waters, or even hitch a ride on a camel along the shore.
Broome also boasts a wide variety of eclectic bars and restaurants for visitors to unwind in after a long day of sun.
