WHAT DOES
KAMPUNG MEAN?

THE WORLD IS ONE BIG VILLAGE

Discovering common ground, far from home

Kampung’ means ‘village’ or ‘community’ in Indonesian. It sums up our travel philosophy – we all come from distant places but we’re all part of a world community. Travel is about enjoying the differences and diversity of other cultures but it also reveals how much we have in common.

Going local, treading lightly

Our approach to travel benefits both our clients and local communities. Our relationships with local hospitality and tourism providers and community organisations support the local economies while giving Kampung Expedition travellers authentic cultural experiences.

Kampung Expeditions supports interactive, sustainable tourism. This means that as far as possible:

• Our tours have minimal impact on the natural environment and local cultures
• We seek feedback about our activities from our local service providers
• We respect and support the local community by informing our travellers about local customs and sensitive cultural issues.

This fosters the local relationships that open doors to the communities for our clients. And by respecting the small details of local life, Kampung Expeditions offers bigger experiences – memorable encounters with people and places that could expand your understanding, and maybe also your view of the world.
