YellowB 20:53 UTC 12 Jul 2017 | Hi fellow travellers, I'm would love to experience the tree kangaroos while travelling in Papua New Guinea and from searches I can see that there are species on various rain forest. Any recommendation as to which area I have the best chances to see them? Much thanks. |
Laszlo 20:59 UTC 12 Jul 2017 | I think you must be very very lucky to see them in the wild anywhere in PNG. | 1
YellowB 21:02 UTC 12 Jul 2017 | Hi Laszlo, Got it, so I'll not do any planning primarily based on this then - much thanks! | 2
Laszlo 21:13 UTC 12 Jul 2017 | Yes, take them for a big bonus if you see any. Plan to see birds of paradise instead, and maybe cuscuses. Tree kangaroos are easier to see in Australia where 2 species occur. | 3

YellowB 20:48 UTC 13 Jul 2017 | Great feedback on the nature park, thanks lot, since I consider resting for about a day in Port Moresby before moving on | 5
