Unexplored jungle, superb coral reefs, misty highlands and smoking volcanoes, plus a unique range of tribal peoples Papua New Guinea has it all; the scenery is as diverse as it is majestic. The Sepik River is reminiscent of the Amazon with its huge jungle while the Highland region is a mixture of crisp mornings, beautiful sunsets and vibrant wildlife, including the fabulous Birds of Paradise. Culturally it is one of the most extraordinary places on earth as the range of distinct languages (over 850!) and as many tribal groups is scarcely believable. As colourful and exotic as many of their names suggest Huli wigmen, Asaro mud men many of these people groups have only come into contact with the West in the past 50 years and remain refreshingly traditional in their outlook.
