Papua New Guinea OCE AN I A
Papua New Guinea, which occupies the eastern half of New Guinea, is one of the least explored countries in the world. Impenetrable forest and smouldering volcanoes make nature a fortress in this tropical land. Here you can interact with communities that have lived in isolation for thousands of years; faces pierced with feathers and bones, and tribes practicing rituals forgotten by time. Watch as birds of paradise flit between the trees with their magnificent plumage and crocodiles skulk in the muddy mangroves. Only a handful of people have been privileged enough to visit the Kaningara tribe. In a land largely untouched by tourism, you can take part in their rarely-seen coming of age ceremonies. Make your way through the rainforest by helicopter, boat and on foot, accompanied by a leading documentary producer, a researcher and local tribesmen. All before arriving at a village, where you will uncover the traditions of one of the world’s most remote tribes. Due to our existing relationship with the Kaningara tribe, the tribal chief has extended to us a special invitation for upcoming celebrations.
