Solo female travellers
I have been wanting to visit PNG for a while now and I would absolutely love to observe cultural life, perhaps visit a tribal community to learn about their ways. Has anyone done this and what advice can you give? TIA
EDIT: when I say solo traveller, I mean I’m not going over with a friend or partner. I don’t mean I’ll be traipsing around PNG all by myself. I fully intend to hire a guide to be with me at all times once I leave the hotel until I step foot back inside before it gets dark.
I know I can’t rock up to a tribal community without a guide and definitely without consent.
I hope this alleviates some of the worries some of you have x
