- Oh, wait, this seems all right.
- Get to the middle.
- 'Cause you get too close!
- It's not me!
- Huh! - Don't run!
(Ada giggling)
F that, F that, F that!
(upbeat music)
We are currently in Paris about to get a flight to Ghana,
because we're going to The Year of Return.
What is The Year of Return?
- The Year of Return is where the Ghanaian government
has invited anybody from the West African diaspora
to go to Ghana and experience the culture.
I've never been to West Africa.
I can't wait to, like, see what the food's like,
the culture.
- There's, like, loads of festivals.
There's loads of music events, cultural things, art things.
Hopefully we learn something and gain some culture.
(upbeat music)
(upbeat Christmas music)
So we've arrived in Ghana.
It seems like everyone's quite hyped.
Like, even the staff were watching the dancers.
(dance music)
It's already quite hot.
- This is too many layers.
Like, 30 degrees already.
- I'm wearing sweatpants.
(relaxing music)
Why are these doors so...
Oh, this one doesn't slide.
Okay, I'm cool.
We are so excited to be here.
- It's gonna be good.
- Rumor is, Beyonce is here as well,
so, you know, that's a plus.
Absolutely sweating our asses off!
- Yeah!
- It is so hot!
(upbeat music)
We're in the Botanical Gardens today.
It's a nice sweet garden.
And we're gonna go on a canoe.
Which is great because it's 20 million degrees
and we're gonna do more exercise by paddling a row boat.
- Yeah, like, I don't even mind if we capsize at this point.
- 'Cause it's hot, B.
They have a canopy walk.
- So high!
- Which is great, 'cause I love heights.
I'm not scared at all.
- I'm not a big fan of heights.
- No, I hate that (beep).
I don't even know why we booked this.
(dramatic music)
Oh my god, I can see it!
- [Hanifah] It's high!
- No way!
No way, no way!
I ain't do that (beep).
(serene music)
(Hanifah screaming)
Ah, no, I can't do it.
I'm not having a great.
I'm not having it.
Oh no!
- [Hanifah] Put your hands before your feet.
- I can't do it.
I actually can't do it.
I do not feel great.
I don't like heights.
- [Hanifah] You made a good effort.
- Yeah, I feel like I did.
There's kids on there!
(Ada laughing)
Now for a less stressful endeavor.
We're gonna do a canopy walk.
I think that'd be really cute.
- [Hanifah] Yeah, we get to see all the lifestyle.
What, no!
- Well, not lifestyle, but we'll see the trees.
- We'll see all the wildlife.
- But it'll be (beep) hot up there
because it's in the sun.
- [Hanifah] Yeah.
- So prepare to see us melt again.
"Everything the light touches is yours."
This is all very beautiful.
But then this is what we have to cross.
- Aah, don't look down!
- [Ada] Why would you say don't look down.
I wasn't looking down in the beginning.
(dramatic music)
Oh, wait, this seems all right.
- Get too the middle.
- 'Cause you get too close!
- It's not me!
- Huh! - Don't run!
(Ada giggling)
F that, F that F that!
(serene music)
So after surviving yet another strenuous activity.
- Our heart rates are up.
- But now we're gonna take a relaxing canoe ride.
- [Hanifah] Got to have balance!
- Got to have balance!
It's actually so pretty.
Very close to your face.
- Hello! (Ada laughing)
- This is really, really relaxing
compared to some of the other activities
we've experienced in this park.
- So we have finished at the Botanical Gardens.
- It was a lot.
- You know what, we did it, and that is the main thing.
- Faced many a fear.
- We faced some fears and that's all we can do.
So, yeah, onto the next thing.
(upbeat music)
So it is our second day here.
Now we're going to do a quick tour around Accra.
Accra?
- Accra. - Accra.
- We're not really sure how to say it yet.
- And just experience more culture.
(African drum music)
So this is market.
And, as you can see, there's a lot going on.
- This is exactly what we need,
'cause we're in, like, 35 degree heat.
(Ada laughing)
It feels like we're in the oven.
(upbeat music)
- Shout out Afrochella.
- Hey, ready for Afrochella?
- Woo, love traffic!
- So after being stuck in the world's longest traffic jam,
we're finally here.
(upbeat music)
- Okay, so we're at Afrochella right now,
which has been known to be like, what,
Afropunk and Coachella combined?
- Yeah.
(airplane flying overhead)
And apparently it's next to the airport.
(upbeat funky music)
I've enjoyed partying and being here is an effort.
- It's been a long day, okay!
(fireworks exploding)
- So it's our final day in Ghana
and we've decided that today we are gonna do the market.
- [Hanifah] Told it's basically the-
- [Ada] It's huge!
- Ghanaian equivalent to Oxford Street.
Huge shopping district.
And, like, see what the locals do,
like, where they pick up all their stuff.
'Cause, apparently, you can buy everything
and anything here.
I also look naked, so maybe I should buy some clothes.
(upbeat music)
I can't wait.
I'm sweating my ass off,
so I can't wait to have this.
- [Ada] Hanifah, your head!
(upbeat music)
There's so much going on here!
- [Ada] Yo, this place is crazy.
How has this Sports Direct bag ended up here?
- UK's number one!
(shoppers chattering)
- [Ada] Wow!
(upbeat music)
So we've come to the end of our Ghana trip.
Which was amazing!
We did so much.
- My highlight was definitely watching you freak out.
- I actually c-c-c-can't do it.
- I would say my highlight was probably the market,
even though it was hella stressful.
- I think it showed a different side
to what we'd been seeing the rest of the time.
- More, I guess, local people just going about
their day-to-day.
Apart from the events where everything's kind of set up,
this was just, like, more natural.
I would definitely go back for sure.
Probably in, like, the summer when it's a bit cooler.
Well, like, our summer, it's a bit cooler then,
'cause this is, like, the hottest time of the year to go.
It is so hot!
Sweating!
The glow is sweat.
Outside, in the sun, it is torture to me.
But I can't wait to go back.
- We have a feel of what it's like now
that when we come back next time we'll be pros.
- Yeah!
- Well, not pros, but we'll know what we're doing.
- Yeah, for sure.
