In this day and age of global communication, advanced technology and high speed travel, there are still pockets of humanity who have had “no contact” with the outside world.

According to anthropologists the best place and highest probability to make a
“First Contact” is indeed Papua, in fact there are unexplored areas which harbour truly “stone age” tribes. People who have never experienced anything from our modern world, who have never seen or used metals. This is a humanity totally emmersed in the forces of pure nature. Whose tools come from what their environment has given them, from wood, stone and bone.

This “first contact” trek is not just another adventure travel tour, but a full-on exploratory expedition. In this “first contact” expedition we will be exploring one of the most beautiful and pristine rainforests in the world. We will be traveling into area where there are no roads, air-fields or helicopter landing pads. Where the challenges and treasures of total nature are experienced.

In this manner, there is no describing what can felt and realized on an expedition such as this. This “first contact” expedition requires extreme sensitivity and thus the exploratory party will be limited to only four people.

Kelly is confident in extending his services to include “first contact” because of his personal experience in this regard; on solo treks to remote areas, face to face with humans of a “completely” different nature and time.

Many great adventures have climbed to the summit of Mount Everest, but few have reached this deep into humanities long forgotten past.
