Destination: Port Moresby & Mount Hagen Duration: 6 Nights, 7 Days Best Time: End of May to September
Description: A short introductory tour to New Guinea visiting the Varirata National Park on the Sogeri Plateau above Port Moresby and Kumul Lodge near Mt Hagen. While we will be concentrating on getting as many species of Birds of Paradise as possible, we will also be looking for other New Guinea specialities particularly the brighter and more colourful parrots, pigeons and kingfishers. There are excellent photographic opportunities at Kumul Lodge where Birds of Paradise come to the feeders in the Lodge grounds, and at the PAU in Port Moresby where the ponds allow us a good view of waterbirds.
This tour starts and ends in Port Moresby, Papua New Guinea.
