As a Kumuka traveller, we want you to be the first to know about any significant changes that we make across our business.

Our Responsible Travel Policy has been constantly evolving since we began operating 27 years ago, and as we and the world we live in change, so this policy is adapted to meet those changes.

It's purpose is to serve, structure and minimise the western impact upon diverse cultures, communities, the environment and the wildlife that we interact with.

This policy outlines the codes of conduct which Kumuka is committed to operate by, ensuring that we offer sustainable tourism that benefits host communities economically and is sensitive to indigenous cultures and the environment. These guidelines are at the very heart of all of Kumuka's operations and forms the underlying principles of the company. By following it we hope to create holidays that give our customers 'real' experiences and a fuller appreciation of all the aspects of their chosen destination.

Tourism can be of real and lasting benefit in helping local communities receive much needed income as well as leaving positive cultural exchanges and financial incentives to protect the natural environment for the locals and for future travellers.

Our obligations to Responsible Travel do not end there.

Kumuka is involved in measurable community and environmental projects as well as global campaigns such as the Environmental Investigation Agency that take a stand for issues involving both human rights and environmental crime.

We know we cannot change the world overnight, but we can help make a difference.

We’re on a journey. A very important one. And, as ever, we’re delighted to have you with us.
