UnderstandWith the exceptions of Uluṟu-Kata Tjuṯa National Park and Kakadu National Park, all parks are managed by the Parks and Wildlife Commission of the Northern Territory.
ParksMost of the Northern Territory's national parks are either located in the tourist regions of the Top End and the Red Centre.
SeeEach park has something different to see. Some parks may have something that can easily be seen by car, while others might require you to do a little hike to get there. See the relevant park articles for details.
Do
EatMost national parks will not have any sort of places to eat. In those cases, you will need to bring your own food, however, the more popular parks such as Uluru-Kata Tjuta, Kakadu or Litchfield have some.
Stay safeIn the Top End, crocodiles can pose a severe threat. In most cases, leave them alone and you will be all right.
