Ambua Lodge
The Highlands
Nestled amongst the Doma Peaks near Tari and sitting almost 7000 feet above sea level, the lodge enjoys magnificent views of the Tari Valley below. Home to one of the most immediately recognizable cultures in Papua New Guinea - the "Huli Wigmen". A proud, flamboyant tribe known for their ornate ceremonial "wigs" with dances and songs fashioned on that of the mating rituals of the Birds of Paradise - an encounter with the Huli's is bound to be memorable.
You will find a restaurant, lounge and bar as well as beautiful gardens to explore where you may be lucky enough to spot some of the local birds. Ambua's rain forests have been the star of many a wildlife documentary. An incredible 217 species have been recorded here it is home to 13 different species of bird of paradise. Rooms are in 30 round houses, set amongst landscaped gardens and built almost exclusively from natural materials. Each one has 180 degree picture windows to soak in the view, en-suite bathrooms and electric blankets and continental quilts for the cool highland evenings. There are also some modern hotel rooms with similar facilities.

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.















High in both quality and luxury of experience, and property must have ‘wowed’ us on many levels.
This is our benchmark for excellent service and experience, location and /or activities.
Good relative value, excellent location and/or experience, and offering an ideal base for exploring the area.
Budget-focused stopover property, sometimes it’s the ideal location on a driving itinerary.
Don’t be put off, these stays are comfortable and a perfect pit stop on a journey where the choices may be limited.
