Day 2 - Afrochella

Festvial Vibes

Ever wanted to swag surf with ya’ people on the continent? Yeah, us too. Today we will celebrate our homecoming at Ghana's newest African music festival, Afrochella. It's like Coachella, only Blacker and better.

The festival features music, food (Jollof anyone?), and art installations. Afrochella is a celebration of African culture and the perfect place to celebrate your return to the gold coast.

We've got good news - VIP Afrochella tickets are included in your trip price because we know you're here for a good time, not a long time.

Day 3 - Accra City Tour

Get To Know Accra

Today we will explore the best of Accra. Our city tour will take us to famous landmarks like the Kwame Nkrumah Memorial, Independence Square, and the W.E.B DuBois Center. We will learn the history of this beautiful country and its relationship with famous Pan- Africanists like Maya Angelou.

After our tour, we'll head back home to change and prep for a fun night out in Osu. You came to tun up too, right?

Day 4 - Cape Coast

Ancestral Connection

Have you recovered from the Afrochella festivities? We hope so!

Today is our official return home to Ghana and we'll celebrate with a transformative visit to Cape Coast, Elmina Castle and Kakum National Park. We will walk through the 'Door Of No Return' and along the same path as our ancestors did during their last moments on the coast of West Africa. 

This part of the trip will be powerful and emotional for many. Our expert guide will show us around the castles sharing touching stories of our ancestral past. After the tour, we'll have time to reflect with an oceanside lunch.
