1. Arrival in Accra, Welcome Dinner & Drinks

   Jour 1

   Touch down in sunny Accra, where you will be met on arrival by our team member who will be your host as you explore Ghana over the next 8 days. You’ll be warmly greeted and assisted with your hotel transfer and check-in, with some free time to settle in and explore your surroundings. In the afternoon, guests will have the opportunity to get their hair braided in preparation for the evening. Your host will reconnect with you at dinner time, where we officially kick off your journey with a curated welcome dinner and drinks at the hottest spot afterwards, setting the tone for the unforgettable experience ahead.

2. Accra City History & Optional Afrofuture Day 1

   Jour 2

   We will kick off the day with a late-morning start and head out to explore Accra with a knowledgeable local guide who knows the city inside and out. The tour includes a drive through some of Accra’s most iconic spots; from the historic fishing community of Jamestown to the powerful Kwame Nkrumah Memorial and the symbolic Black Star Square. You will get a real feel for the city’s rich history, culture, and energy. Wrap up this experience with a lively drumming class experience with some leisurely shopping at the Arts Centre, where you can support local artisans and find one-of-a-kind artefacts. To cap off this unforgettable introduction to Ghanaian culture, we will explore the vibrant flavors of West African cuisine at a local-favourite lunch spot. We continue our Ghanaian adventure with an optional night out at Afrofuture, arguably one of the city's key December highlights where culture meets great music.

3. Ghanaian Cultural Immersion Experience & Optional Afrofuture Day 2

   Jour 3

   Dive into an enriching batik-making experience and learn more about the Ghanaian traditional Adinkra symbols with a knowledgeable specialist. Explore traditional Ghanaian dancing & learn unique words and phrases in the local languages and try your hands at batik making. Enjoy a traditional cooking session with local cooking methods such as grinding and pounding, and end with an intimate lunch hosted by a Ghanaian family.

4. Cape Coast Day: Road to Heritage

   Jour 4

   Today we drive to the Central Region for a visit to Cape Coast in remembrance of the transatlantic slave trade. Starting off at the Cape Coast Castle, our guide will walk us through the journey of captured slaves, sharing the history of their imprisonment and final departure from the continent. Seated by the calming waters of the Atlantic Ocean, enjoy lunch with a celebration of African heritage with a reminder that our unbreakable joy & spirit lives on in our cultures & customs. As the day winds down, we will begin the return journey to Accra.

5. New Year Reset: Wellness Morning, NYE Dinner & Night Out

   Jour 5

   Start the day slow with a relaxed wellness morning designed to ease you into the final day of the year. This experience includes a guided Pilates session with Archel, creating space to reset, reflect, and take in the moment. After some downtime to freshen up, the evening kicks off with a New Year’s Eve dinner in a relaxed but lively setting, with good food, great music, and an easy atmosphere to settle into the night. We continue our New Years Eve celebration with an optional night out at Polo Beach Club, one of Accra’s most popular beachfront spots, known for its open air setting, music, and spectacular fireworks show as the city counts down to the New Year.

6. Optional Shopping or Free Day

   Jour 6

   Enjoy a free day to rest, explore independently or hit the city for some optional last minute shopping. Below is a sample mix of local favorites and standout concept stores: • Elle Lokko for curated fashion and accessories • Oxford Street for a bit of the buzz and local street finds • The Arts Center for crafts, textiles, and souvenirs • Christie Brown for high-end Ghanaian fashion • The Lotte for high-end African brands • R&R Luxury for natural skincare and wellness goodies • Viva Boutique for elegant pieces and lifestyle finds

7. Nature Wellness Escape : Waterfall Massage Experience

   Jour 7

   We will start your day with a drive from Accra to Aburi. Once we arrive in Aburi, we will head to the Asenema Waterfalls for a relaxing waterfall massage experience. Imagine cool, fresh water gently flowing while you experience a relaxing massage to the muted thunder of the waterfall. After our waterfall idyll, we will continue to a hillside restaurant for a chill lunch set in a scenic, serene location. On our way back to Accra, we will make a quick stop to enjoy some fresh palm wine; a sweet, local drink that’s popular in the area.

8. Farewell & Departure

   Jour 8

   On your final day, take care of any last-minute errands before checking out. You will be dropped off at the airport in time to catch your flight, bidding your host farewell and we hope to see you on the continent again soon!
