Kwame Nkrumah Memorial Park and
Mausoleum, final resting place of the
first president of Ghana. There you'll find
a museum dedicated to the leader, who
was a pivotal part of the independence
movement in Africa. In Accra, the most
exclusive place to find one's home away
from home is at the centrally located
Kempinski Hotel Gold Coast City
Accra with a pool, central courtyard,
upscale restaurant, gallery focusing on
Ghanaian artists, and incredibly spacious
rooms. Since opening in 2015, the hotel
has become something of a high-end
social center for the city of Accra.

The eclecTic Side
Occupying a space about half the size of
California, less-visited Senegal boasts
excellent beaches, an eclectic music
and arts scene, and even a few decent
safari parks. The capital, DAKAr,
sits on the end of a peninsula and is a
lively metropolis that has been home
to The Dakar Biennale, or Dak'Art,
since 1992; it's a major contemporary
art exhibition that takes place once
every two years. Meanwhile, UNESCOdesignated Ile de Goree and the capital
of Saint-Louis in the northern part of
the country lure architecture buffs with
their colonial buildings and wrought
iron balconies. Parts Unknown travel
host Anthony Bourdain, known for his
wry perspective, recently wrote that
"Senegal is one of the best arguments
for travel I can think of." During a recent
visit, Bourdain describes the powerful
and proud tradition of hospitality in
Senegal, concluding that the country
is "someplace that everyone, given the
chance, should go." Another notable
who has traveled to Dakar is former
President Barack Obama, who made
a stop there during his 2013 tour of
Africa. While there, Obama stayed at
the radisson Blue Hotel, Dakar Sea
Plaza with its sleek rooms, infinity pool,
and gorgeous restaurant overlooking
the ocean. ♦

Shoppers will delight in Marrakech's souks.
