TRAVEL TWISTS TWISTING KRUGER - GOLF IN SKUKUzA Tee off to the sound of a lion's roar as it flushes a buffalo from the brush on the next green.

Set in the Kruger National Park, play nine holes and 18 tees deep in the unfenced bush of South Africa, an experience you will absolutely never forget. TWISTING CAPE TOWN Bread Baking in the Winelands Make and shape different kinds of dough, including focaccia, ciabatta, and soda bread in one of Franschhoek's prominent wine estates for a fun bread-making workshop. While the breads bake, enjoy a cellar tour and wine tasting on the winery's lovely grounds. Cape Malay Cooking Safari Meet your guide at the Bo-Kaap Museum, where you'll receive a brief orientation regarding the Cape Malays—their origins, history, and immense contribution to the culture and economy of the region. From here, you'll be taken on a walking tour of the area, ending at the home of a local resident to begin a hands-on cooking experience. Enjoy a refreshing glass of falooda (flavored milk), an old custom for welcoming visitors, and enjoy the fruits of your labors while the group sits down for a convivial and hearty meal. Cape Town Jazz Safari Any seasoned traveler will tell you that to truly get to know the rhythm of a culture, you need to get to know the rhythms of its music. In Cape Town, that rhythm is jazz. A distinctive mix of western and African influences with riffs borrowed from ports around the world, it's a sound infused with the indomitable spirit of the people of the Cape. Dinner, drinks, and exclusive performances by virtuoso musicians will be followed by a taste of contemporary Cape Town sounds as you venture out of the inner city to enjoy live jazz at a popular nightspot, or make your way across town for a nightcap at the home of a second musician.

This beautiful sunset cruise on the Spirit of Victoria provides fabulous Table Mountain and city views under the glow of the sun as it dips into the sea, a romantic sight that should be on your must-do list for South Africa. A complimentary glass of sparkling wine allows you to toast to the good fortune that brought you here. Day tours designed to immerse you deep into the soul of this fascinating country, add one of these unique, authentic, only-in-South Africa experiences to any itinerary to give your travel that extra twist that turns extraordinary into unbelievable. 16 Travel Twists
