Karawari Lodge

Karawari Lodge

Sepik River

Standing majestically on a lone ridge, 300 meters above the banks of the Karawari River and overlooking an endless expanse of dense tropical lowland rain forest the lodge sits in one of the most remote and un-spoilt destinations in Papua New Guinea, the lodges private airstrip and the Karawari River being the only way in or out. Stilted villages line the edges of flooded waterways and dugout canoes are the primary mode of transport.

There is a dining and lounge area, 'Puk Puk' Bar and a vast collection of Sepik artifacts are around the lodge which is designed in the form of a traditional 'haus tambaran' or spirit house. The awe-inspiring view at dusk has to be experienced to be believed. The lodge arranges river excursions in 18-seat motorized jet boats to the surrounding villages where you visit traditional homes, witness ceremonial dances and celebrations and are honoured with a glimpse traditional life. Accommodation is in 10 cottages, each built out of local bush materials. Each one has two private twin rooms, each with modern en-suite bathrooms, and a communal veranda. Despite its remoteness, the lodge has electricity, hot & cold water, comfortable mosquito-netted beds, ceiling fans, and a breezy veranda.

How our Tent Ratings work

These are based on our personal experience of the hotel, camp or lodge and should not be compared against ratings you find elsewhere. We intend to guide you and don’t be put off by a low tent rating as some of our favourites fall into the 2 and 3-tent categories.​

It is also important to bear in mind that standards vary from country to country and a 4-tent hotel in South Africa cannot be compared with a 4-tent hotel in another part of the world. 

To summarise our grading system, we have considered the following.
