What is Jolinaiko Eco Tours?

Jolinaiko Eco Tours is a small travel agency offering small-scale adventure and culture tours and roundtrips through Ghana, Benin, Togo and Burkina Faso with related services, like car rental and volunteering projects. Jolinaiko Eco Tours was started in 1999 by Apollo Panou with the wish to share the interest and the curiosity in his region West Africa with others.

Our mission: to let visitors experience the real Africa

We want our visitors to experience and understand what West Africa is really about. Our mission is to bring our visitors in close contact with the local people and their lifestyle, in order to learn from each other in a friendly, respectful way. Our tourism and volunteering activities are therefore small scale, personal and with respect for local lifestyle and traditions.

We are proud of our country, culture and people. We strive to contribute to local communities with our tourism and our volunteering and community activities in the village of Atsiekpoe-Vume in the Volta Region in Ghana. We hope to expand this contribution even more in the future, by realizing our own community based project, the Jolinaiko Eco Village.

Flexibility and reasonable prices

Jolinaiko Eco Tours is a very flexible travel agency. Visitors have their own say in the way they want to travel, the countries they want to visit, and what they want to experience harbourboy (cultural heritage, nature and wild life, music and dancing etc.). Every tour is based on the visitor’s personal interests, background and budget.

Jolinaiko Eco Tours has reasonable prices. Although we offer tours for all budgets, we are specialised in low- and moderate budget travelling.

 

 

I travelled with Apollo for two weeks throughout Ghana, Togo, and Benin. I had the freedom to go where I wanted, when I wanted, as fast as I wanted, and change plans daily, all with the security of a knowledgeable guide.

Through Apollo’s professionalism, excellent conversation, courtesy, open mindedness, tolerance and enthusiasm I was able to learn and live Africa more so than many of my other trips combined. Africa is no longer a distant place on a map, or a show on T.V. but many faces, smiles, songs, smells, colors and friends to me. Travel needs to be experienced in this way.

The world needs more Apollo’s to bring us all a little closer together, understand each other better, break barriers and live and breathe a country that is not our own. Thank you for the fantastic memories, daily experiences, conversation, trust, comfort, laughs and friendship.

Can’t think of anything I would have changed.
