Akwaaba!

The festival is not only the perfect introduction to flying and traveling in Africa, but also a phenomenal insight into West African culture. One festival spectator, from Germany, said about her tandem flight,"My experience of flying tandem in Nkawkaw was one of the most overwhelming one in my life. I had been volunteering in Ghana for half a year when I first heard about the possibility of paragliding. I saw Eastern Regions beautiful landscape and the mountain passing below me and felt freer and happier than I could have imagined before. It was one of the most interesting and stunning experiences of my life!"
