Papua New Guinea:  Birding in Paradise
Brief Overview of Trip
Of all the birding destinations in the world, Papua New Guinea
would have to rank among the most fascinating and exotic.  The
second largest island in the world, New Guinea was the last
inhabited island on earth to be explored by Europeans, and
even today many areas have little or no exposure to Western
influence. The virtually untouched forests come alive with
incredible fruit doves, fig parrots, fairywrens, jewel-babblers,
pitas, honeyeaters and berrypeckers. Over twenty species of
dazzling birds-of-paradise present elaborate iridescent colours
and wild tail plumes in one of the most astonishing exhibits of
the natural world.

Travelling by air, road, and boat, we will explore the diverse
habitats of the country from winding lowland rivers and
sprawling grasslands to rich highland ecosystems and forested
valleys.

Our eighteen-day tour covers the highlights of this enchanted
and under-travelled country in depth. We can expect a
phenomenal variety of remarkable birds and vast regions of
immaculate forests that have been experienced by few people
on earth.
