Ambua Lodge offers an inspired mixture of local architecture, spectacular views and modest luxury off the beaten track. The lodge is located at 7,000 feet in the Tari Gap area in the southern highlands, bordering on pristine mid-montane rainforest and in the beginning of the valley grasslands. This location promises the visitor the eternal spring weather and magnificent views of the Tari Valley.

The forest canopy, a dense mass of interlocking tree tops of all shades of green and the occasional bright splash of color, provides a natural setting and an exhilarating climate for venturing along the nature trails.

Cross traditional vine bridges where you will discover secluded waterfalls, view the timid tree kangaroo, and spot high altitude orchids and rhododendrons. Take advantage of the birding in the Tari Gap area where one may chance to observe up to ten species of bird of paradise.

Ambua Lodge features highlands architecture with a main building housing a lounge, bar, dining room, and a cozy center fireplace. Separate are a video room, heated spa, and a sauna. Guests are accommodated in forty individual units set in a sea of local flowers. Each unit features 90-degree picture windows, a modern bath, and electric blankets and continental quilts for the cool highland evenings. The lodge generates electricity from its own mini hydro-electric power plant.
