ITINERARY

DAY 1: AKWAABA!! WELCOME TO THE MOTHERLAND

Arrive in Ghana! You’ll be picked up from Kotoka International Airport after your arrival into the Motherland and taken to your hotel accommodations in one of Accra’s premier neighborhoods. After you get settled into your hotel room and freshen up - we’ll introduce you to the rest of the TOWT crew at our Welcome Dinner.

Meals Provided: Dinner

​

DAY 2: CITY TIME x AFROFUTURE (formerly Afrochella)

After some much needed rest, we get our formal introduction to the bustling city of Accra, as we embark on an Accra City Tour. Our city tour will take us to famous landmarks where we’ll learn about the historical beginnings of Ghana as an independent country.  We will stop by the W. E. B. DuBois Center, which serves as a memorial place and research center. We will also visit Independence Square and view the enclosed flame of African liberation, which was lit by Kwame Nkrumah, Ghana's first president in 1961. We continue the short distance to the Kwame Nkrumah Memorial Park, final resting place of Ghana’s founder. After exploring the city, we’ll grab a bite to eat and then head back to the hotel to rest up - to ensure we’re energized and ready to hit up the first night of AfroFuture.

​

Meals Provided: Breakfast

​

DAY 3: CULTURE, CULTURE, CULTURE

What better way to become immersed in a country's culture than through their fashion?

We will have a custom clothing experience where we connect with a local Ghanaian tailor and fashion expert. She will offer design consultation for custom orders, textile sourcing, fittings and have items available for purchase. (Maybe you’ll find the perfect fit for AfroFuture!)

Afterwards, we head back to the hotel in time to prepare for the second night of AfroFuture.

Meals Provided: Breakfast

​

DAY 4: SANKOFA - TO RETURN AND GET IT

This journey marks our official return home to where they said we’d never return. We’ll celebrate with a transformative visit to Cape Coast Castle and Kakum National Park.

​

This part of the trip will be powerful and emotional for many. Our expert guide will show us around the ‘castles’ sharing crucial stories of our ancestral past. As we walk through the Male and Female dungeons and witness the cramped living conditions, you will gain a powerful understanding of the atrocities committed against our ancestors. This visit culminates with the hauntingly infamous “Door of No Return,” which enslaved Africans passed through before being shipped to the New World.

Although this journey can be difficult, it is an essential step in reconnecting with our past and honoring our ancestors.

​

Afterwards you will visit Kakum National Park, which has one of Africa’s famous rainforest canopy walkways. This canopy walkway is sure to be one of the highlights of your time in Ghana. Prepare to take a deep breath as you walk the suspended bridge and marvel at the breathtaking views that stretch for miles across the rainforest. (Optional)

Meals Provided: Breakfast and Lunch

DAY 5: PACE 👏🏾YOUR 👏🏾SELF!!

Sunday in Ghana is known for its lively beach parties, and we'll be joining in on the fun! Spend the day soaking up the sun, feeling the sand between your toes and listening to the sounds of the ocean waves. This is a perfect opportunity to experience the vibrant Ghanaian beach culture with music, delicious food and refreshing drinks. Try not to party too hard at the beach, because we have a long night of partying ahead of us!

Tonight, as the New Year begins and the old one ends, we’ll ring it in VIP style at one of Accra’s premier night clubs.

Day 8: THROW IT IN THE BAG

After a leisurely morning, we’ll head out to do some souvenir shopping. Your day begins with a visit to the Makola Market which is the biggest open market in Accra. (Be prepared to test out your bargaining skills!). This fascinating market has been divided into various sections to make shopping easy for buyers. You will have the chance to walk through this unusually busy market and shop for some of Accra’s most authentic items: including crafts, carvings, authentic African Art, and exquisite fabrics. Be mindful of your luggage capacity.
