📍The White Saun (Heron) Along the Sepik River – Nukuma Area
As you travel along the mighty Sepik River towards the beautiful villages of the Nukuma Area, you will often see the White Saun, also known as the Heron, standing silently by the riverbanks. With its long legs and white feathers shining under the sun, this graceful bird stands still in the shallow waters, watching patiently for fish.
The White Saun is more than just a bird—it feels like a gentle spirit of the river, calmly welcoming you to enjoy your journey. Its presence adds peace and beauty to the scenery, as if it's watching over travelers and guiding them along the way to the heart of Nukuma land.
Whether you’re in a dugout canoe or on an outboard motorboat, seeing the White Saun makes your trip feel special—like the river itself is alive and greeting you.
