Guest’s review
In November 2023 we
visited Arfak Mountains in West Papua and stayed in Maibri Birding Ecolodge for
5 nights. If you want to have views of the Birds-of-Paradise of David
Attenborough quality, this is the place to be. It takes some patience because
you stay in hides for hours, but the sight of dancing Vogelkop Lophorina and Magnificent
Bird-of-Paradise will last forever. The forest where they live is beautiful and
hosts a lot more biodiversity, although the birding is not easy. The lodge
itself is basic but clean and comfortable. It’s situated directly on the main
road on the edge of a small Papuan village near the forest. You can both
interact with the friendly people who live here and at the same time enjoy
nature (my moth net attracted hundreds of beautiful moth species at night).
Everything is within a radius of not more than 3 km, so you don’t waste time
traveling.
