Wakawaka MOVEMENT

The Wakawaka Movement is about driving Africa forward by encouraging the diaspora to come home to their roots and enjoy their home country. Ghana is fast becoming the top African destination for tourism. Ghana comes alive in “Detty December” with music, street parties, festivals and an electric atmosphere. It has the friendliest people, spectacular beaches and a heritage that has been preserved for all to see. You are all welcome to our Wakawaka Beach Festival on New Years Day and on the 2nd January at Kokrobrite Beach (located next to Big Milly’s Backyard).
