Day 05-06

Karawari
Wake up to the chattering of Lorikeets and Eclectus Parrots.
After breakfast enjoy touring programs that provide insight into the amazing ecology and culture of the Karawari area.
Explore villages in small riverboats along the jungle-fringed waterways is as rewarding as it is exhilerating. The real fascination here is the people and how they live with the land and how it moulds their lives. They still live as they have for generations - rituals, sing-sings, story telling, food gathering and preparation. With Karawari's carefully planned cultural program, daily visits in river boats are made to selected villages allowing one the opportunity to be able tp observe village life and customs, participate in typical daily activities and see re-enactments of traditional ceremonies. We will visit remote jungle waterways where we will find huge lichen and vine - festooned trees, masses of brilliant flame flowers, and a profusion of orchids.
