what we do

At Touch Down Africa, travel is more than movement - it’s transformation.

We curate journeys that celebrate Africa’s contrasts and connections, from tranquil vineyards to untamed safaris, coastal escapes to countryside retreats. Every stay is crafted with purpose, inviting guests to discover, feel, and be transformed by the spirit of Africa.

spirit of africa

Africa is where it all began - the birthplace of connection and the rhythm that still stirs our souls.

At Touch Down Africa, we celebrate this spirit through 10 distinctive properties across South Africa and Rwanda – from Big 5 safaris and bushveld retreats to coastal escapes, vineyard stays, and countryside hideaways. Each experience is designed to reconnect travellers with the essence of place – to feel inspired by nature, culture, and community, and to rediscover the joy of being present.
