Hello. I'm Zorica, your local expert for South Africa
I grew up in Europe but realized soon enough that my true passion lies in Africa. After living in Tanzania for a few years I relocated to Johannesburg, South Africa, where I have been ever since. Africa has this unique combination of fascinating wildlife, authentic culture and endless landscape attractions, making the continent a great choice for all.
Our tour operators runs trips all over East and Southern Africa and I am in charge of our South African operations. Living in the capital, I take a lot of advantage of our easy access to some of the best national parks in South Africa, as well as the well-connected domestic flight network to head out to the coast. My favorite itinerary includes a week of game drives in our national parks up north before heading south on a road trip along the Garden Route. A wide selection of services is at your disposal when working with me: safari lodges, rental cars, domestic flights, specialized wilderness guides - all available for your ideal trip.
Our tours are best suited to those looking to explore South Africa in a fun and safe way, no matter your travel party constellation.

18/09/2023“Our trip to South Africa and Victoria Falls, booked through Rough Guides and their SA based agent Zorica of Shadows of Africa, was absolutely perfect. I was hesitant to use a booking service because I have traveled around the world, always booking my own stays and excursions and such, but was intimidated by trying to do that for Africa. I would recommend this service to anyone, the hotels and game lodges were fabulous and a great value, tours and excursions were delightful and pickups were always on time. Transfers to and from airports really erased any anxiety for me. We saw so much wildlife, beautiful scenery, learned a lot from our drivers and guides, and I just cannot emphasize enough how amazing the trip was. Thanks, Zorica and Rough Guides, you gave us the trip of a lifetime.”

All of our tours were as described and most had knowledgeable and friendly guides. Our accommodations were wonderful and the food and drink good. It was very easy to contact our agent if we had any questions and she answered them all thoroughly. Thanks Zorica”
