Kodama Travel is an online travel marketplace that prioritises wildlife welfare. We work exclusively with high-quality suppliers committed to responsible travel. However, we are not a wildlife-only marketplace. Our offerings include a wide range of travel experiences, from city breaks and authentic cultural experiences to outdoor adventures and wildlife encounters. We can also help you design tailor-made tours to selected destinations.

Our mission is to make booking responsible travel experiences easy, ensuring travellers no longer need to rely on marketplaces complicit in animal and community exploitation for their travel needs.

Our conservation mission

We are founded by conservationists. We believe true luxury in travel lies in connecting deeply with a place and its people, appreciating and protecting its ecosystem and biodiversity, and returning home with a renewed appreciation of the world. We hope you will enjoy the experiences we lovingly curated.

We advocate using income from responsible travel to support local conservation efforts, providing an incentive to preserve ecosystems rather than destroying them for exploitative economic activities.

In some destinations, reducing the number of tourists and tour operators is essential to protect fragile ecosystems. Therefore, we have excluded certain destinations from our offerings and chosen not to work with cruises.

Founder Note

founder profile image

I'm Amy, founder of Kodama Travel. I'm a former consultant turned conservationist. I hold a BA in Geography and an MSc in Conservation from University College London (UCL).

Kodama was born out of my love for nature and wildlife. As an avid traveller, I've been to 33 countries and counting. I am saddened to see the ongoing exploitation of wildlife in the travel industry, and I'm determined to put an end to this as my life's mission. Kodama is a start-up with an ambitious vision: to make travel a force for good and to end animal exploitation in the travel industry. Ultimately, I believe responsible travel should be the norm, not the exception.
