Tari Basin
The Tari Basin and the Tari Gap are world renowned birding spots, and because the altitude ranges from 1700m to 2800m through a variety of habitats there is a high diversity of species. Tari is a particularly blessed with birds of paradise including the King of Saxony and the Blue bird of paradise. Sir David Attenborough visited the area when making his documentary Attenborough in Paradise (1996) and really put the place on the maps of twitchers.
The best of the birds can be seen between July and October when their plumage is at its zenith.

museum
There's a tiny museum in a stockaded compound and most of the items in the small display are for sale. The place is a sort of old mens' home and a couple of older fellows show you around and accept your donation. The covered structure in the compound is the grave of a former provincial premier, and you'll see similar (but usually smaller) structures all around the Tari area.

Birding tours
Birding tours take in the Tari Gap from the road and a few trails in the rainforest. Depending on which trees you visit, local landowners will expect compensation per site. Ambua Lodge and Warili Lodge run tours into the surrounding countryside, although Ambua does not really cater to casual drop-ins.
