Over 750 languages/dialects are spoken in PNG, this represents about one third of the worlds indigenous languages.

These staggering figures are also demonstrated in the flora and fauna.

  • 900+ species of butterflies (including the world’s largest species the Queen Alexandra Birdwing), and
  • 3000+ species of orchids!

“WE CALL IT PARADISE, THEY CALL IT HOME”

Sitting in the evening with a cold drink in your hand, after an exhausting days walk, watching Eclectus Parrots fly past on their way to roost.

Checking a mist net in the still of the night to find the unexpected catch of a beautiful Common Tube-nosed Bat.

Frantically searching through your field guide trying to identify a bird that is totally unknown to you, before it disappears into a sea of green.

This and more is all part of a wildlife encounter in Papua New Guinea!
