PNG offers some of the world’s best birding – from the Kiunga lowland rainforests to the highland heaths of the Tari Gap and the savannah lands of Port Moresby. With the right itinerary even the shorter trips here can usually find about 20 species of birds of paradise. New Guinea and its off-shore islands, as a whole, have over 400 endemic species, the single greatest concentration on earth. Birds are endemic to individual islands or archipelagos and a lot of travel is needed to see them all. New Guinea is often subdivided into 3 distinct area for birding: Indonesian Papua, the Papua New Guinea mainland and the New Guinea Islands.
