Ada, Togo, Shai, and Oboadaka are already behind us. The 31 July house party comes next, followed by Côte d’Ivoire and five more confirmed dates through Christmas Eve.
The year opened with shoreline, sculpture, and the kind of easy first day that made people want the next date fast.
Museum + island day
The first passport stamp came early. Three days over the line, a different rhythm, and a bigger sense of where the year could go.
3-day border run
Shai gave the year its first real outdoor memory: reserve ground, cave air, tired legs, and the moment the group stopped feeling new to each other.
Reserve + cave day
A water reset after the early movement, and the crew photo now sits with the first half of the year as one of the days people still bring up.
Waterfall dayA social night before the border run, made for music, introductions, and meeting some of the people heading west in August.
House party Ask about 31 July
An overnight ride into Abidjan, then four days across four cities, with three nights to see Côte d’Ivoire beyond a quick border stop.
4-day experienceTents near the falls, a Volta night outdoors, and a morning shaped by the sound of Wli.
Waterfall camping Ask about Wli camping
A highland day above the trees, with the canopy walkway turning the Volta stop into a view worth slowing down for.
Canopy + highlands Ask about Amedzofe
A full community day for games, shared plates, and the friendly competition that keeps the field loud.
Games + food festival Ask about the festival
Christmas Eve carries the final border run into Benin, with the year ending on a celebration instead of a quiet sign-off.
Christmas border trip
"We wanted every part of the year to feel different: museums, borders, reserves, waterfalls, a house party, camping, food, and one final Christmas trip."
— Zico · Founder
Ada opened with shoreline and story. Togo put the first passport stamp on the year before it had time to settle.
Shai and Oboadaka filled the outdoor dates. The 31 July house party brings the next crowd together before Côte d’Ivoire.
Wli brings the tents, Amedzofe brings the canopy, November brings games and food, and Benin closes the year on Christmas Eve.
