Itineraries and Schedule

We offer maximum care to our clients. Your satisfaction is secondary to the priority we put on your safety. This is a reason why our guides, and perhaps the only guides in Papua to take this precaution, bring on each one of our Papuan expeditions a GPS, and a satellite telephone. Our office is equipped with several satellite telephones. Our clients can use the satellite telephone for private calls (though this requires your guide’s consent). It depends on the battery condition. Allowing, or not allowing a private call, fully lies within your guide’s authority.

Custom-prepared trip itineraries

We also prepare custom trip itineraries for individuals or groups – a visit to any tribe which is described on our website. Please contact our travel agency for further information. The same applies to etymological or other scientific expeditions.

Standard itineraries

Schedule for 2012 already available – see at the bottom of this page

All itineraries, which are in our standard offer, are suitable for the general public. Physical strain on these trips is not extreme. On our treks we walk for about 4 – 5 hours a day, during the maximum of 2 – 3 longer transfers we may exceptionally walk for 8 hours. We know the target areas very well, therefore we take the shortest paths and visit the “well-established” villages. We do not play “superman”, and we do not break records. What matters to us is that our clients enjoy a beautiful holiday with unforgettable primitive cultures.

Our trips are suitable for healthy sportsmanlike people who are used to going outdoor at least during the weekend; and for people who, despite their office job, find time to go biking, have a walk, or do some exercise. The trips in our standard offer are suitable for people 18 – 65 years of age. Younger people in from 13 – 15 years old can participate, but only if accompanied by one of the parents. A participation of a person younger than 18, must be consulted with our travel agency beforehand.

Schedule of New Guinea Expeditions

The dates of individual trips and expeditions usually start on Saturday and end on Sunday. The exact schedule of a trip can therefore differ from those in the schedule about +/- 2–3 days. We update the schedule 4–6 weeks before the departure.
