Safety & Scams

Exercise a high degree of caution; crime rates (especially 'raskol' gang activity) are very high in Port Moresby, Lae, and Mount Hagen; avoid walking alone at night and stay in secure accommodations; tribal fighting can occur in the Highlands; check local security conditions before traveling to remote areas; healthcare is extremely limited outside the capital; malaria and dengue are prevalent—mosquito protection is essential; only drink bottled or boiled water.

Getting Around

Flying is the most common way to travel between major regions as there is no nationwide road network; small aircraft (Air Niugini, PNG Air) are essential; trekking (Kokoda) is a major activity; local PMVs (Public Motor Vehicles) operate in cities but are not recommended for tourists; car rentals are possible in Port Moresby but expensive and require high security awareness.

Cultural Etiquette

Respect for tribal traditions is paramount; always ask for permission before entering tribal land or taking photos; 'Wantok' system (kinship loyalty) is central to society; dress modestly; avoid discussing sensitive tribal politics.

Internet & Connectivity

Digital infrastructure is limited; 4G is available in major towns via Digicel and Telikom PNG; high-speed Wi-Fi is rare and mostly found in premium hotels in Port Moresby; connectivity is non-existent in remote villages and mountains.
