Let Away to Africa show you the hidden gems of Ghana on this culturally-rich and musically-motivated tour featuring AfroFuture, formally known as Afrochella!
Away to Africa will kick off this cultural experience in Accra and lead you throughout Cape Coast, Aburi Mountain and many other jewels of Ghana. With AfroFuture just a few days before the New Year, the festival showcases the vibrant culture of Africa with fashion, art installations and music. Relax and dance your heart out on Accra’s beautiful beaches while creating the experience of a lifetime with new friends.
The better version of the Coachella experience, AfroFuture is the way to experience the last of the Year of Remembrance – focused on the music, culture and art of Africa.
