The Korowai tribes in West Papua live in the least explored jungles of the world in very isolated territory. In 1978, the first contact was established by pastor Johannes Veldhuizen. Today, the Korowai tribe counts around 3.000 people, and many still choose to live in their villages in the forest rather than in government-built towns.
The Korowai remain dependent on the forest and are hunter-gatherers with excellent fishing skills, living in small family groups. Most of the Korowai still live in wooden houses approximately 8 meters from the ground, but there are also houses on ground level. During this tour to Korowai, we will travel deep into the southern lowland forests of Indonesian New Guinea.
We are the only tour operator that started this trip from Merauke towards Kepi because of the beautiful scenery and adventurous character. We offer a unique optional stay to explore a mangrove village, watch Crocodiles at night, and learn traditional fishing skills. It would be best to be prepared to return to the magnificent nature surrounding you. Expect no facilities or modernity during this trip. You will sleep in one of the local houses and huts.
