Ecotourism Melanesia’s PAPUA NEW GUINEA
MOROBE PROVINCE (Lae)
OUR BRIEFING
Morobe can be divided into two zones:
Lae and “the rest of the province”.
Lae is largely a hot, dusty
industrial city dotted with green oases such as the botanical gardens located
in the centre of town, the Lae war cemetery and the Rainforest Habitat located
at the university. The Habitat houses the largest collection of captive Birds
of Paradise in the world as well as a variety of displays including tree
kangaroos, quolls and other birds of all varieties in a lush tropical garden
setting. Accommodation in Lae ranges
from top of the range at the Lae International Hotel to guesthouses and lodges,
all offering quality service and affordable rates for what is offered. The largest commercial crocodile farm in the
southern hemisphere is located on the outskirts of Lae – guided tours are
arranged on demand.
Lae is the last stop at the end of
the highway connecting all the highlands provinces. The town has a lot of
squatter settlements with a range of PNG ethnic groups.
Outside Lae, Morobe is a big and beautiful province with lots to offer. Great
beaches, pretty little offshore islands, close-up wildlife and spectacular
mountain scenery.
