Who are we?

Our mission is to incite your epic adventure while helping to keep Sumatra wild.

Since 2010, Wild Sumatra has been helping responsible travelers discover the most remote wild places left on the mysterious, mountainous, rainforest-shrouded island of Sumatra. We work with rural communities to empower local guides, helping connect them with off-the-beaten path adventurers looking for authentic, bespoke, small-group trekking and cultural experiences in the rainforests of Indonesia’s Kerinci Seblat National Park and surrounding villages.

We believe strongly that community-based ecotourism can help safeguard the still-untouched forests and wildlife of Sumatra, while helping to improve the quality of life for people living on the forest’s edge.
We are proud that 5% of the total cost of our trips go directly to 21st Century Tiger in support of wild tiger conservation projects in the Kerinci Seblat National Park and other areas of Sumatra. After all, a healthy tiger population means a healthy forest.
