WELCOME TO ACCRA!

Akwaaba! You’re finally here!  We’ll whisk you away from Kotaka International Airport (ACC) after your arrival into the city and take you to your 5-star accommodations. After you get settled into your new digs, we’ll introduce you to the rest of your crew for the week; an intimate group of individuals from all over the world ready to experience Accra’s culture and history. As a group, we’ll all head to our welcome dinner and kick off our new journey together.

THE REAL ACCRA

The best way to get to know a destination is by gaining a bit of its history.  Today, we’ll be taking you on a tour that gives you a deep dive into Accra’s roots. We’ll immediately immerse ourselves in the local culture by trekking through the city to visit historical landmarks, sampling traditional foods, learning about the people and getting our first taste of Ghanaian hospitality, visiting the world famous Makola market, getting some custom-made clothes by a local tailor, and stopping at the Independence Square to take in the amazing view.

AFROFUTURE

Today, get your flyest festival outfit together, because we’re hitting AFROFUTURE (formerly AFROCHELLA), the largest growing festival in the continent of Africa brings together millennial talent from and within Africa for an amazing day of Black excellence. You’ll be spending the one of the last days of the year partying with the locals and listening to the sounds of local and international artists. Feel the music, free your mind, and enjoy an incredible lineup of ground breaking icons and emerging talents in art, culture, and fashion.


Check out the bespoke African art & textiles, crafts,  apparel, the pop-up dining installations and much more while on the festival grounds.

A DAY OF HISTORY

Today, we’ll be taking a journey to Cape Coast, a town not too far from Accra, known for its role in the Atlantic slave trade. We’ll visit the Cape Coast Castle and the Door of No Return, which is believed to be one of the final exit points for many men, women and children from Africa being brought to the Americas. You’ll walk away with a history lesson you won’t get in any textbook. We’ll also visit Kakum National Park for a walk across the canopies that line the treetops to enjoy an unrivaled view one hundred feet above the rainforest.

Now that you’ve got your feet wet in Accra, today’s the perfect opportunity to discover some of the things that make the city so great. Get to know your new travel companions, check out that cool spot your friends back home recommended, stop by the local markets or hit the biggest mall in Africa (yes, the entire continent!), or hang out with a glass of fresh bissap poolside at our lush accommodations. Today is your day to do as you please.


In the evening, put on your finest, because we’re headed for a night out in Accra to bring in the New Year the Ghanaian way!

SAND, SUN & FUN

Bring your sunscreen because today is all about the beach!  After kicking off the New Year with a champagne brunch with a Ghanaian twist, we’ll be heading to the shore for a bit of sun and relaxation. Vibe out while you have a meal on the coast and soothe yourself in the crystal clear waters.


In the evening, we'll come together one last time for a celebratory dinner. Let our last meal together as a travel crew be a time to reflect on the unforgettable week Accra gave you, and for the memorable experience you gave yourself.
