  • If you have a thing for unique stays, you need to save this for your next trip to South Africa! 🇿🇦 

We just came back from a weekend stay at @melozhori and it was everything we imagined, and more. 

Our Valley Pod is stunning in every way — its interior is plush and stylish, with plenty of room in the living and kitchen areas for pizza and wine nights. Its spacious outdoor deck opens out to valley views, with net hammocks for lazy afternoons and a steaming wood fired hot tub perfect for chilly evenings. 🏕️🥂🔥🛁

It has a dreamy setting enveloped in a grassy valley, in the sprawling Melozhori private game reserve. We awoke to see zebras and waterbucks from our deck, as we sat sipping hot chocolate with marshmallows. 🦓🦒🦌

Best of all, it’s reasonably priced at US$180/night (and includes a complimentary game drive) — since we brought our own wine and food, we didn’t spend on anything else but the stay itself. Excellent value but an incredible unique stay! 

[Disclaimer: Our stay was not gifted, we paid for it ourselves. Just happy customers here!]

  • One of the reasons why we chose to base ourselves in South Africa for 6 months is the chance to see wildlife! 🦒🦏🦓

We’re spending a fantastic weekend in the game reserves just 2hours away from Cape Town. We didn’t have to drive far at all to be in the karoos (semi arid area unique to South Africa) and feel like we’re in a completely different world.

In just a weekend, we already spotted wildebeests, zebras and impalas 🦓 — some right from our eco pod’s deck @melozhori . We also saw 3 of the Big 5 at @aquilasafaris - buffalo, elephant, and rhino 🐘🐃🦏- and enjoyed some downtime @africamps making our own braai over the campfire. 🔥 

I still can’t believe that we get to do this on weekends, in between work and school! Definitely feeling grateful and proud of ourselves for making the move to South Africa 🇿🇦 . 

[PS We paid for the stays ourselves, none of the experiences was hosted. Just happy customers here. ]

  • How bittersweet it is to realize that by raising our daughter to love adventure, we’re teaching her to chase her own dreams someday. 🥹

Kaleya, we hope you fly far and reach high one day. Until then, we’ll always be right by your side. 

Where are my mamas who can relate? 💗

  • Cape Town is hands down one of the best cities in the world to travel with kids. 🇿🇦Having been here for a month now, we’ve discovered SO many amazing places that are great for both adults and kids! 

Where else can you go from mountain trails to penguin beaches, city parks to coastal bike rides, all in one day?

Here’s what to do with your little adventurers in Cape Town 👇

🐧 Boulders Beach – Yes, real penguins. On a beach. Where your kids can swim in calm, shallow waters and watch tuxedoed locals waddle by. It’s magical (and totally worth the drive).

🦤 Cape Point Ostrich Farm – A hidden gem near Cape Point where kids can meet and feed the largest birds on Earth. There’s even a hatchery to peek into the baby ostrich life cycle!

🐠 Two Oceans Aquarium – Indoors but full of wonder. See sharks, clownfish, seahorses, jellyfish and more. Touch pools and interactive exhibits make it ideal for curious little minds.

🛝 Green Point Urban Park – A total winner for kids! Giant playgrounds, secret gardens, ducks in the pond, and wide open lawns. Perfect for a picnic, scooter ride, or just burning off that ice cream energy.

🚴 Sea Point Promenade – One of Cape Town’s most iconic walks — or better yet, bike rides! Rent wheels or bring your own. Ride beside the ocean, spot paragliders overhead, and end with gelato by the lighthouse.

🎨 Clay Café (Hout Bay) – Paint-your-own pottery, an outdoor play area, and a family-friendly menu — it’s creativity meets chill time. You leave with both memories and a handmade souvenir.
