We enable travellers to research and reserve travel experiences and services – exquisite safari lodges, boutique hotels, flights, cars, awesome activities, relaxing tours and transfers — with the collaboration of our travel partners, that are true experts on the ground in Southern Africa.
By booking our safaris and tours, you are directly contributing to conserving the future of wilderness areas and its precious wildlife. You are also directly assisting people living on the periphery of national parks and wildlife reserves to improving their lives. Our safari partners enable communities to better living conditions by offering rewarding work opportunities, responsible education and implementing community development projects. Thus, ultimately creating a safe area where all – people and wildlife – can co-exist and prosper.
With this in mind, it’s our core mission to enable you to travel and witness the beauty of the African landscape and let you discover some of Earth’s great ecosystems – where diverse and complex biological systems live in balance. It is our desire to bring you closer – to Touch Nature with all your senses – to feel connected.
A journey to Africa involves learning about the history and its heritage. It is the cradle of humanity and of ancient African Kingdoms. However more recently the people have suffered exploitation and have been robbed of the capacity to shape their own destiny. With resilience and self-determination, they have risen to independence. It’s an ongoing process and many still live with the consequences of mis-governance. Yet they are such warm-hearted and welcoming people with much hope and dignity. They are proud of their ancient heritage and are willing to show their beautiful land to those that care to see and learn. A journey to Africa will leave you inspired and grateful for the joy you experience.
We provide you with a real, authentic safari experience. Immerse yourself in the excitement of discovering something new from a different perspective. From visiting local villages to hiking through the wilderness, from canoeing on gorgeous waterways to watching the African sun slowly dip behind the horizon – we provide a complete adventure that embodies the values we uphold.

Passion and Love for Africa.
Drawn to the continent by her desire to witness wildlife thriving in their natural habitats, Rita initially embarked on a scientific career. However, fate had different plans, leading her into the world of tourism. Driven by an unwavering urge to share the awe-inspiring beauty of the African wilderness with others, Rita pursued her passion and became one of the few female professional safari guides in Botswana. Through her expert guidance, she immersed safari guests in the wonders of the natural habitat, ensuring every participant experienced remarkable moments that would forever be cherished.
As Rita traversed the diverse landscapes of the Okavango Delta, the Makgadikgadi salt pans, the Kalahari Desert, and the Tsodilo Hills—home to the San communities—her understanding of the land and its people deepened. These experiences nurtured a rich knowledge and appreciation for the intricate connection between nature and culture.
In more recent years, Rita found a home with her family in Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe. Embracing motherhood, she transitioned to the organizational side of the safari business. Nonetheless, her passion for nature continued to burn bright as she motivated fellow nature enthusiasts to venture further afield, discovering the untamed beauty of the world and experiencing the enchantment of the wild animal kingdom.
With Touch Nature Safaris, Rita and her team invite you to embark on a journey that will bring you closer to the authentic essence of Africa. Through their profound understanding, genuine love for the continent, and commitment to preserving its natural wonders, they curate unforgettable experiences that will leave a lasting imprint on your soul. Let Touch Nature Safaris be your gateway to an extraordinary encounter with the untamed splendor of Africa.
Touch Nature was founded on the premise that we should travel to and engage with places and people in Africa. We believe that traveling broadens the mind and transforms one’s perspective. The people you meet and the experiences you have enable you to develop a deeper empathy toward various people and circumstances. As opposed to what television portrays, learn about the true Africa and its welcoming people.
The greatest way to understand Africa and how it works is through travel. We evolved to this point thanks to our prior experiences working in travel, traveling, and living in Africa.
Through innovative travel, we want to connect people with meaningful experiences to enable them to see and experience The Real Africa.
