      Wild Wonderland at NIHI Sumba

      Welcome to Sumba, the mystical Sandalwood Island, where the air is spiced with aromatic woods and fiery red ginger. Where yuletide traditions play out to the rhythm of the tides. Where the jingle of sleighbells blends with the jungle call of hornbills. Where native horses gallop with the same magic as flying reindeer.
