Hi andoman,
if you are into wildlife (croc's, jabiru's, cockatoo's, eagles and hawks etc etc) I would suggest visiting Shady Camp. We went there last year and it was a real eye opener. Close up to the croc's without to much danger. Stayed overnight, got some great shots and memories.

Cheers

Go to the following site, gives you heaps of info. If you are driving up through Alice Springs, take the time to visit the Alice Springs Desert Park (whole day), and the Territory Wildlife Park at Berry Springs outside Darwin (whole day) on your way to Litchfield Park.
Suggest you contact parks&wildlife for maps of Litchfield & Kakadu. They have lots of info on them as well.

In Litchfield area, recommend LaBelle Station - off beaten track. Is just to the SW of the Wangi Tourist Precinct. All of the Litchfield waterfalls are different and spectacular in their own way. Do not miss Wangi Falls. Buley Rockholes is a great place to relax in water. There are some good walks, too - Walkers Creek, around the top of Wangi Falls etc - as long as there has not been a recent burn. Depending on river level and thus whether road open , you may be able to drive from Wangi area to Berry Springs/Territory Wildlife Park area, without haveing to backtrack through Batchelor.
