I had an amazing time on my recent trip to South Africa. South Africa is an amazing country. I had the chance to spend a few weeks there, and it was truly an incredible experience.

The accommodations I stayed at were amazing—they were so well-designed and so well-planned, and they made my stay in South Africa special.

I stayed at some incredible places: The Houghton Hotel was like something out of a dream. The food was delicious, the service was impeccable, and there were so many amenities—from swimming pools to a lounge to spa treatments — it felt like heaven.

But it wasn’t just about being pampered during my stay. I also got to see some incredible sights while exploring the beautiful country: from Table Mountain in Cape Town to Kwa Maritane in Pilanesberg National Park.

And let me tell you: Nothing beats seeing elephants on a safari!

The safari tour we went on was epic. You could see many different animals from giraffes to zebras! It was a great way to see some of the natural beauty that South Africa has to offer.

Wine tasting in South Africa is breathtaking—it’s hard to believe how delicious their wines are until you try them for yourself! The wine was smooth and delicious, and the views were spectacular. The whole experience was informative and fun. The wine tasting was unlike any I had ever been to before. The tasting room was located on the second floor overlooking the vineyard and rows of grapes, which were just starting to bloom. It was a beautiful setting for learning about how wine is made and what goes into making each one unique!

The yoga classes I taught were awesome—they were very relaxing and just what I needed as a yoga instructor before preparing for a long day of exploring South Africa’s natural wonders.

I felt very lucky to be part of such a strong community during my time in South Africa—everyone was so friendly and welcoming! South Africa was amazing. The Paradise + Vibe tribe was warm and inviting. I’ve been feeling so much better since coming back from South Africa, and it’s all thanks to the community there. I didn’t want to leave!
