Lakekamu Basin

Listed under Rainforests and Jungles in Papua New Guinea.

For the stout of heart, a real jungle experience is a visit to the Lakekamu Basin, one of Papua New Guinea’s untouched lowland rainforests. Travel to the Basin from Port Moresby by bus and motor canoe, or charter a Cessna into Kakoro, in the heart of the Basin.

Home to cassowaries, crowned pigeons, Palm Cockatoos, and birds of paradise, this is New Guinea jungle as it has been for millennia. This is only for the most adventurous souls, who are willing to rough it and take a chance on experience paradise in the jungle.
