The President and First Lady are expected to draw huge crowds to Accra

Africa is preparing to welcome President Barack Obama. Will you be there to see him?

The most powerful man in the world will touch down in Ghana on July 10 on his first trip as President to sub-Saharan Africa.

In the capital Accra, celebrations are being planned. Thousands are expected to line the streets to welcome Mr Obama and his wife Michelle.

Many will be travelling to Accra especially for the visit, coming from the US, Nigeria and Kenya, the home of the President's father.
