Cape Town and Sala Beach House

The Perfect Bookends to a South African Safari

If you’re planning a South African safari, here’s the secret nobody tells you:

the “before” and “after” stops can make your trip just as unforgettable as the safari itself.

In our latest episode of One Slice at a Time, Ryan and I share how we turned our safari trip into a full-on luxury travel experience—starting in Cape Town and ending at the breathtaking Sala Beach House in Durban.

From the moment we stepped off the plane in Cape Town, the VIP welcome from Live Life African Safari Getaways set the tone. We’re talking private greeters, seamless luggage handling, and a guide who made every moment easy and fun.

Cape Town Highlights

• Table Mountain: Skip-the-line tickets and 360° gondola views over the city.

• Cape Winelands: Pinotage, bubbly, and some of the best wine we’ve ever had.

• Boulder Beach Penguins: Tiny tuxedoed locals in their natural habitat—adorable is an understatement.
  

Sala Beach House in Durban

After safari, Sala Beach House was the ultimate exhale. This private beachfront villa on the Indian Ocean gave us:

• Spacious luxury suites and a villa all to ourselves

• Gourmet breakfasts and a farewell dinner planned with the chef just for us

• Monkey “security patrols” to protect our croissants (mostly successful!)

Pizza Talk

Ryan also gives his famous Crusty Review, and let’s just say… stick to Cape Town for your pizza fix.
