Accra (August 2026)

With notable, internationally acclaimed artists such as El Anatsui, Ibrahim Mahama and Amaoko Baofo and notable arts museums and galleries, the Ghanaian arts scene provides a vibrant backdrop with which to explore Accra.

With much vaunted initiatives which reach out to the Diaspora, Ghana has been attracted many visitors, beyond those looking to visit the first African country to gain independence from colonialism, and those assessing for themselves who the winner of the Jollof Wars is.

The trip is expected to take place from 26 to 30 August 2026.
