The island of Papua New Guinea (PNG) is home to one of the planet’s richest and most spectacular avifauna assemblages. None are more magnificent than the members of the Bird-of-Paradise (BOP) family, with 38 of the 43 known species occurring in PNG. We provide a fantastic experience that simplifies logistics, maximizes safety and comfort, and exposes you to the incredible natural wonders of this bird-rich nation. On this tour we have selected two prime locations, Rondon Ridge in the highlands, and Karawari in the lowlands, giving you the chance to see an impressive 12 species of Bird-of-Paradise, as well as many other iconic PNG species.  Members of the BOP family possible on this tour are King-of-Saxony, Twelve-wired, King, Blue and Raggiana Bird-of-Paradise, Glossy-mantled Manucode, Greater Lophorina, Brown and Black Sicklebills, Stephanie's and Ribbon-tailed Astrapias and Short-tailed Paradigalla. Add to this the chance to see endemic families such as the Satinbirds, and the monotypic Wattled Ploughbill and Blue-capped Ifrita, and a colourful diversity of passerines that include cuckoo-shrikes and trillers, logrunners, babblers, pitohuis, and bowerbirds, and you are bound for an unforgettable experience in this must-see birding destination. While this is predominantly a birding trip, we will be sure to look for mammals and interesting flora, including orchids. Join us in eastern PNG for the birding adventure of a lifetime!
