Ambua Lodge, Kumul Lodge or Varirata NP near Port Moresby- prob best the last as easy to access, 45 min from POM

Is the lodge below Ambua still there. I wrote back and forth a few years back. Haven't gone though.

You mean Warili? Yes, still there, also the fairly new lodge just above Ambua, both decidedly backpacker style…..

Agree with Sicklebill

We had tour organised by Sicklebill, see report

If you are staying at Port Moresby then Varieta and PAU gives an excellent set of endemics including Raggiana Birds of Pardise lek.
If in Mount Hagen then Kumul and surrounds had great birding I think we got 9 birds of paradise here.
If there for mining/business in somewhere like Tabubil, then Tabubil and Kiunga are also great.

We obviously don't know country like (Phil / Sue) so you could consider using them for local accomodation and possible guiding.
