Ghana Volta Region Highlights

Ghana Volta Region Highlights(17 images)

The Volta Region is a beautiful, green region around the enormous Volta Lake, the largest man-made lake in the world, and the Volta River. The Volta Region is home to the friendly Ewe people.

Liati Wote is an eco-tourism site in the Volta Region in the Hohoe district. Liati Wote is a small village against the backdrop of Mount Afadjato, Ghana's highest mountain at 880 meters. The main attractions are the mountain, which can be climbed, the Tagbo Waterfalls, one hour’s walk through the beautiful forest at the base of the Afadjato and a mushroom farm which can also be visited.

Ghana Village Lodge Atsiekpoe

Atsiekpoe and Vume are two small villages on the opposite river bank from the villages of Aveyime and Battor. To get to Atsiekpoe from Aveyime, you need to cross the Volta river by ferry-canoe. The small village of Atsiekpoe consists largely of termite clay houses with thatched roofs. On the lively river bank where it is situated, local fishermen prepare their boats and nets, children play and swim, and women do their laundry.

Atsiekpoe is the village where Jolinaiko has initiated the Cashew Village Lodge. Also all of our volunteering projects take place in this area.

Jolinaiko Vehicles

Jolinaiko advises you to consider private car rental for safety reasons, flexibility and comfort. The following cars are available for our tours and can be rented with a driver:

3 Landrover Defenders, 1 Nissan Patrol, 1 Toyota 4runner, 1 Chevrolet Tracker, 1 Toyota Sienna, 2 Toyota Hiace busses, Toyota Coastal busses and large touring busses on request.

The Landrovers are great cars for our adventurous trips through Ghana. These jeeps offer enough space for groups up to four people, plus driver and guide, and all luggage pieces. A Landrover Defender is a very powerful car and highly suitable for the African landscape and road conditions. However, they are less comfortable than the Toyota's 4Runner, Nissan Patrols and Chevrolet Tracker. Also, the Landrovers don't have airconditioning.

The mini vans are especially suited for small groups of more than 4 persons.

The Coastal busses we use for large group tours.

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.
