    Karawari Lodge Down in the Sepik region, this time-warped mixture of the primitive and modern is the perfect base for some old-fashioned jungle, river and village exploration. You are in the middle of Arambak country-- locals pole dug-out canoes, the drums throb, the wild birds call, and, traditional village lifestyles continue unchanged.

    "Something like a National Geographic expedition. No roads. Thick jungle. Locals poling dugouts. Crocodiles. You wind up at the surprising Karawari Lodge. All kinds of comfort amidst a thousand miles of jungle." - Robin Kinhead, Chicago Tribune.

    Just under one hour's drive north of Madang, this redeveloped former coconut plantation boasts a relaxed South Pacific style with its extensive lawns and gardens reaching down to the waterfront.

    You'll look out through the swaying coconut palms to the still active volcanic Island of Karkar and out into the Bismark Sea. We also operate scuba dive programs for beginner and experienced divers on magnificent clear coral reefs and shipwrecks from days gone by.
