Jolinaiko Eco Tours - Experience West Africa!

Ghana the movie

Experience Ghana, the movie

In 2010, the Ghana Tourism Information Office in the Netherlands made a great documentary (Dutch spoken) about Ghana, in 8 episodes, which aired on Belgian national television. Jolinaiko Eco Tours advized and organized the roundtrip for the crew. Apollo Panou can be seen in his natural habitat as a guide, as well as Evans, our driver behind the wheel.

The documentary is based on the wonderful Dutch travel guide 'Ervaar Ghana' ('Experience Ghana'), which will soon also be available in English.

This wonderful new compact Dutch guide is a great travel companion for our Dutch travellers. Contains lots of cultural information about Ghana, eco-tourism destinations en travel tips. Not to be missed! (400 pages, 2nd edition, February 2011).

“ From June till August 2010 we have travelled with our 3 kids (5, 8 and 11 years old) through Ghana, Togo and Benin for 8 weeks. The last 5 weeks we have travelled with Jolinaiko tours.

The program was set up very well by Cindy and completely fullfilled our needs and wishes. It was a great, great experience to travel together with our guide Apollo, as well as for us as for the children. The numerous discussions and talks we had about the life in West Africa, the visits to the villages, markets and meetings with the local people and their traditions, the chats and laughs we had, the games we played makes it a once in a life time experience for all of us.

Travelling by car with a guide and driver (in our case Evans and Nashirou) is to our opinion the most convenient way to cross these countries. It felt safe, in our case with the kids off course the most important aspect, we have visited places and regions you can't easily reach by public transport, we were flexible and we have seen and heard a lot of the country, the people and its habits.

We left Ghana with the feeling that we have really experienced the life in West Africa! Apollo and Cindy, thank you very much! ”
