Soar into 2026 with an unforgettable trip to Ghana!
Picture this: waking up each morning to the sounds of waves just steps away from your window. You can feel the rhythm of Afrobeats deep down in your soul and the excitement of bringing in a new year is palpable with each early sunrise. You can't help but dance and sing and indulge in all things "Ghana" each day as you take in the splendor of being on THE Continent.
Does that sound like your idea of EPIC? If so, you cannot afford to miss this unique opportunity to experience Ghana in a new way. Maybe you've been to Ghana (a time or two or three) or this is your first time coming to see what the hype is all about...either way, we curated this trip just for you!
There's festivals galore to be enjoyed! There's culture to be explored!
Experience it all during your holiday break and be ready to make it back to work just as the New Year gets underway.
Details, Please
Christmas is over. It's officially time to start your experience with the group as we fly on December 26th straight to Accra! No layovers in far flung cities and no hassle getting to our final destination. As a group, we'll navigate our way through Kotoka International Airport and meet our local guides who will be eagerly awaiting our arrival.
Time waits for no man! So, we'll start the trip immediately with a half-day tour of Accra. Afterwards, you'll check-in to your oceanfront hotel accommodations and then end the day with our Akwaaba (Welcome) Dinner at a nearby restaurant. We'll welcome you as only the Oheneba Events & Travel team can and prepare you for a life-changing week ahead!
While in Accra you will have the option to visit some of the city's most iconic sites such as Independence Square, historic Jamestown, Kwame Nkrumah Memorial Park and W.E.B. DuBois and Pan African Center.
There will be ample opportunity for festivals as the annual Detty Rave, AfroFuture, and other events are happening all around Accra.
If you've never been to Ghana, you won't want to miss the opportunity for a day trip to Cape Coast and Elmina to visit the infamous slave dungeons and retrace the steps of our ancestors. You'll also never forget the opportunity you had to participate in a traditional Naming Ceremony. You can also do a day trip to Kakum National Park where we will climb to the canopies high in the treetops for an aerial view of the lush landscapes.
Remember...we came to PARTY! And there will be no shortage of opportunities to stay up late and enjoy Accra's famed nightlife. To ring in the New Year we'll start with our private dining NYE experience. The whole city will be jumping and we'll make sure you're in the VIP line at one of the most sought-after events of the night.
The first day of the New Year will start with rest and rejuvenation (you'll need it). Our time ends with a farewell event that's sure to leave a lasting impression on you as you prepare to return home to tell friends and family all about it.
After all the fun has been had, the whirlwind week is over. You'll be exhausted but sure to be floating on cloud 9 after the experience of a lifetime! Departure on January 3rd, arrival back in the US will be the morning of January 4th.
