day 1Join Accra, Ghana

Akwabaa, Weezo (welcome) to Ghana. Your driver will meet you outside the arrivals hall at Accra International Airport and transfer you to your accommodation. The remainder of the day is at leisure.
Ghana’s capital, Accra, is a bustling metropolis with an intriguing mix of historic colonial neighbourhoods, lively suburbs, fishing communities and leafy affluent districts. Like many rapidly growing African cities, it is constantly evolving as people arrive from across the country in search of new opportunities. The city’s character lies in its contrasts, where modern office towers stand alongside vibrant markets and busy streets filled with entrepreneurs. Each neighbourhood has its own distinct atmosphere, and together they create a dynamic and fascinating introduction to West Africa. Despite its size and busy traffic, Accra is a friendly and relatively hassle-free city that rewards exploration.
