Kidu, a new way of traveling.

With a work background in the travel business, cultural anthropology and with a passion for traveling, an idea of inspiring to a more responsible and conscious way of exploring the world was born.  With the welfare of people, cultures and nature in mind. Mass tourism is tearing the resources of our planet. However, we can travel more consciously, with a smaller climate footprint and even leaving the place better when we leave.

Many of us have our own wishes what we want our trip to be like. That´s why we tailor trips for solo travelers, couples, families, and small groups. When we travel slow and mindfully, when we immerse into the culture,  when we connect, we get a deeper and more authentic travel experience. This is what we want to make possible.

To meet like equals

We believe it is possible to connect human values, equality and traveling. We do not compromise these values. Through meetings on an equal level and in a mutual interest we can develop an understanding for each other across borders and cultures. Exploring the world showing respect for animals, nature, and for each other is essential to us.

Kidu’s Social Responsibility
