About R & O Tours

Reconnect. Restore. Regenerate.

R & O Tours is a collaboration between Ombethe & Co, Room 53 Films, and R53.lab, created with a shared vision: to design experiences that bring people closer to nature, creativity, and themselves.

We believe travel should do more than move you from place to place — it should inspire awareness, spark curiosity, and strengthen your relationship with the natural world.
Our tours and programs blend education, adventure, wellness, and storytelling, offering meaningful encounters that nurture both people and the planet.

Every experience contributes directly to environmental restoration. With each tour, participants plant trees or spekboom, supporting biodiversity, soil health, and long-term ecological recovery.

At R & O Tours, your journey becomes part of a much bigger story — one of connection, impact, and renewal.

We don’t just curate tours. We create pathways back to nature.
