Adventure Tips

Festival tickets included—confirm seat type

AfroFuture admission is included, but VIP/table packages are optional—confirm your wristband or table details before arrival to avoid onsite queues.

Bring reusable water and use provided refills

The tour provides unlimited water during excursions—carry a refillable bottle to stay hydrated in Accra’s heat and reduce plastic waste.

Footwear for canopy and castle

Closed-toe hiking shoes with good tread are required for Kakum’s suspended bridges and the uneven surfaces at Cape Coast Castle.

Carry small local currency

Have small Ghana cedi notes for market purchases, tipping guides, and tuk-tuk fares—card machines can be unreliable outside major hotels.
