EM19 Tauri River Adventure
4 nights Tauri River , Gulf Province (camping and village stays)
Four hours road trip from from Port Moresby, the Tauri River runs almost parallel to the Lakekamu River and shares a similar range of bird, reptile and amphibian species as the Lakekamu Basin, a renowned biodiversity hotspot. During this river journey and return hike your guides will be able to show you nesting and perching spots where you can observe and photograph a variety of river and rainforest birds and animals. Crocodiles are small and shy, cassowaries are plentiful (considered a pest) and even more shy because the locals are quite partial to the tough meat.
