Expect light-to-moderate activity—short hikes, canopy bridges, walking tours, and late-night festival standing; be comfortable on your feet for multiple hours.
Dance into the new year on Ghana’s Atlantic shore with Detty December’s AfroFuture nights, rainforest canopy walks, cocoa workshops, and a relaxed safari. This hosted nine-day trip blends party, culture, and wildlife with practical logistics and local insight.
You step off the plane into Ghana’s humid night and the city embraces you with a warm, rhythmic pulse: the TV screens blink Afrobeats, the airport staff clap a welcome, and the transfer to La Palm slides past palms leaning toward the Atlantic like spectators at a parade.

AfroFuture admission is included, but VIP/table packages are optional—confirm your wristband or table details before arrival to avoid onsite queues.
The tour provides unlimited water during excursions—carry a refillable bottle to stay hydrated in Accra’s heat and reduce plastic waste.
Closed-toe hiking shoes with good tread are required for Kakum’s suspended bridges and the uneven surfaces at Cape Coast Castle.
Have small Ghana cedi notes for market purchases, tipping guides, and tuk-tuk fares—card machines can be unreliable outside major hotels.
The itinerary threads modern Accra with heavy history—Cape Coast Castle is a pivotal site in the transatlantic slave trade and the Kwame Nkrumah Museum marks Ghana’s independence legacy.
Kakum National Park and nearby reserves work to protect coastal rainforest corridors—participants are urged to stay on trails, avoid feeding wildlife, and limit single-use plastics.
Holds water, sunscreen, camera, and a light layer for day trips and festival nights.
Required for Kakum canopy walk and Cape Coast Castle grounds—good grip and ankle support help on uneven surfaces.
December is dry and dusty (harmattan mornings) but hot; fabrics that wick sweat keep you comfortable.
