Tours and Activities Local Businesses
Our tours are lead by an Indigenous Guide who is a traditional owner of the lands in and around Broome. Johani Mamid, is a Yawuru man who still practices his lore and culture every day. Looking after country is Important to Johani and his people who are the keepers of his lands. With a Ranger background he understands both the western scientific ways of looking after country (conservation and land management) and the traditional ecological knowledge.
Mabu Buru Tours will take you on a very personal journey that explores Yawuru Culture through country, nature, history, lore and traditional knowledge.

Wakaj, meaning “The coming together of family” is a very unique experience provided by Mabu Buru Tours. After an introduction and welcome from our Cultural and Wildlife Tour Guide Johani Mamid you will be greeted by Mervyn Mulardy who will then lead the Pintirri Dancers in a traditional corroboree-like performance which is known as Maru! The Pintirri Dancers will take you into the sunset while the sounds of our traditional Karajarri songs echo through the surrounding bushlands. A camp fire with bush style tea and coffee will be available to go perfectly with our freshly made damper that you will be able to witness be traditionally made and cooked. Wakaj is a typical gathering of Johani and Mervyn’s family, of which they wish to share with you through this experience…
