“Travel opens your heart, broadens your mind, and fills your life with stories to tell.”

We enable travelers to research and reserve travel experiences and services—including but not limited to lodging, hotels, flights, cars, tours, transportation—directly with travel operators and service providers.

Making travel to Southern Africa available to everyone from wherever is our core mission.

With such dedication, experience and know how, it’s very safe to say you are in trusted safe hands with these two.

Rita Griffin

Rita is an insightful and dedicated Travel Specialist with exceptional customer care service, time management “Swiss” and a problem solver “especially in these interesting traveling times”. She has extensively travelled all continents except South America, building long-lasting relationships that are coming in handy today. She is a professional, articulate and possesses a collaborative nature.

Her highlights are when she became one of two female safari guides in Botswana doing 7- and 21-day safaris through the Okavango Delta. She uses this very experience to recommend safaris, experiences and places to visit. Rita has been a travel agent for more than 15 years.

Ndaba has over 25 years of experience in Hospitality Management, Events Management, and Adventure Travel. He worked on several projects in Adventure Travel and Hospitality Management before becoming a dedicated MedTech Business Developer. He then settled in Switzerland, where he applied his experiences in academia, lecturing on Convention Management, Principles of Management, and other business modules at two of Switzerland’s top Hospitality Management Schools. Ndaba’s main calling in all of this is entrepreneurship. As of 2019, he is involved in societal business development, ranging from African water challenges to healthcare innovation. He brings his passion for innovation and skills to Touch Nature Safaris in order to create simple processes for booking your safari and vacation experiences in Southern Africa.

Agencies | Touch Nature Safaris - About Us

Our Story

Touch Nature was formed 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.
