# Sepik River guide Country forums / Pacific Islands & Papua New Guinea
tryingagain2 04:17 UTC 03 Oct 2010 | A few months ago I posted an enquiry re Joseph Kone, guide on the Sepik River. Well, I eventually was able to contact him and met up with him in Wewak and made a five day journey with him travelling with him to Pagwi by bus then by long boat to Wagu, Yessan, Mayo,Swagup then back to Ambunti, Palambei and Kanganaman.He is a great guide, always courteous and helpful and absolutely reliable and honest. He is not too easy to contact as he has to go to Wewak to access his email, the Ambunti P.O. not always operating and I found it impossible to get through from an Australian landline to his mobiles. Keep trying, he is worth it.Email joesephykone@yahoo.com.au (be careful of strange spelling) or mobile phone:675 7627 6092 and 675 7121 4829 or P.O. Box 46 Ambunti. He will work out a fair price for you and look after you well. |
yantre 19:17 UTC 11 Dec 2010 | I visited the area in 2001 and Joseph was my guide. He is absolutely reliable and honest. I was working on a 45 day expedition to hike/canoe the Sepik from its spring down to Bismark sea. I lost contact with Joseph and am quite happy to see that he is well. Thank you for the email address | 1
