Rent a car with a driver, or a scooter, in Sumba — picked up at Tambolaka or Waingapu.

Local rules
Sumba is big and remote, so a car with a driver is the usual choice — distances between sights run to a couple of hours and fuel stops are sparse. Scooters suit shorter trips around Waingapu or Tambolaka for confident riders with a licence or IDP. Roads vary from smooth to rough; carry water and start early.
