Taste of New Guinea 1: Birds of Paradise

A short 7 day introductory birding tour to New Guinea visiting the Varirata National Park on the Sogeri Plateau above Port Moresby and Kumul Lodge near Mt Hagen. All the endemic PNG families can be seen on this tour.

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.
