Trans Niugini Tours operates a collection of wilderness properties in some of Papua New Guinea’s most remote regions. These include Rondon Ridge in the Western Highlands, Ambua Lodge in Hela Province, Karawari Lodge in the East Sepik, Lake Murray Lodge in Western Province, Bensbach Wildlife Lodge, Malolo Plantation Lodge and the Sepik Spirit river boat.
Each provides a comfortable base for exploring the distinctive landscapes, wildlife and cultures of its surrounding region.
Journeys can be selected from a range of established itineraries or tailored around individual interests. Experiences span the Highlands, Sepik, remote lakes and rainforest regions, with options focused on culture, wildlife, birding, villages and Papua New Guinea’s major festivals.
Accommodation, touring and transport can be brought together into one itinerary, allowing travellers to experience several very different regions within the same journey.
Papua New Guinea offers an extraordinary diversity of cultures and environments. Trans Niugini Tours itineraries introduce travellers to traditional communities, village life, ceremonial events, birdlife and wilderness areas that can otherwise be difficult to reach.
Experiences range from the culture of the Huli and Melpa people in the Highlands to the celebrated carving traditions and river communities of the Sepik region.
Reaching Papua New Guinea’s remote regions is part of the experience. Trans Niugini Tours operates its own aircraft alongside vehicles and boats based at its properties, helping connect destinations where conventional transport can be limited.
This integrated approach allows guests to travel between lodges, villages, rivers and wilderness areas while being supported throughout their journey.
