THE title “party capital of Africa” is a debatable subject as several countries across the continent can be considered strong potential title holders.

But the small capital city of Accra has steadily become one of the hottest vacation spots in Africa.

Once the festive season kicks in, for the past few years already, Ghana has seen an influx of international visitors from stars like Naomi Campbell to Boris Kodjoe.

There is something in the water, in the motherland and with so much to explore and do in the city, it is for good reason. Festivals such as Afrochella have become a huge attraction pulling in the crowds to Ghana.

The culture festival happens between Christmas and New Year’s Eve. The timing of the festival is perfect as this is the best time to visit the popular destination.

Afrochella is not the only event you’d be likely to catch in the streets of Accra. Travellers are spoilt for choice with hundreds of shows, fashion, comedy, adventure trips; there is something for everyone. Some of the biggest performers in Africa and the world come and also set the parties alight with their electric performances.

While in Ghana, a visit to its premier city-centre beach resort, La Palm Royal Beach Hotel, is a must.

No worries if you can’t afford to spend a night at the four-star hotel – you could always visit it for the day and have access to all its amenities.

There are accommodation options that cater for all budgets as well in Accra.
