The scenic town of Ada came alive on June 20, 2026, as Joy Brands launched the "Joy Safari Escape," a premium two-day getaway designed to honor fathers and father figures. Held at the prestigious Aqua Safari Resort, the event blended luxury, adventure, and family bonding, providing participants with a well-deserved retreat from their daily routines. Following the success of a similar Mother’s Day celebration earlier this year, this initiative by Joy FM and its affiliates—including JoyNews, Joy Prime, and Hitz FM—aims to strengthen family ties while celebrating the pivotal role of fathers in Ghanaian society.
The first day of the escape was packed with high-octane fun and relaxation. After a lavish breakfast, the fathers embarked on scenic river tours and explored the resort's lush eco-park. The afternoon shifted toward friendly competition, with participants engaging in various athletic activities, including swimming, tennis, and archery. These recreational sessions allowed the dads to showcase their skills and build camaraderie in a relaxed, festive environment. To complement the physical activities, the organizers provided premium gifts from Joy Brands, ensuring that every participant felt truly celebrated.
Beyond the thrill of adventure, the event featured deeply emotional moments that resonated with all attendees. Heartfelt recorded messages and tributes from families were shared, moving many fathers to tears as they heard expressions of love and appreciation from their children and spouses. As the sun set, the celebration transitioned into a vibrant island party. Following a comprehensive buffet dinner, fathers and their families enjoyed live music and sets from top DJs, dancing the night away in a spirited atmosphere that bridged the gap between relaxation and high-energy entertainment.
As the first day concluded, anticipation remained high for the second half of the retreat. Day 2 promises a specialized safari tour and interactive family-centered activities designed to further deepen the bond between fathers and their loved ones through nature immersion. By creating such immersive experiences, Joy FM continues to set a standard for lifestyle events that go beyond simple entertainment, fostering genuine emotional connections and creating lasting memories for Ghanaian families.
