Atsiekpoe and Vome 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.

Jolinaiko Vehicles(16 images)

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: 1x Landrover Defender, 1x Landrover Discovery, 5x Nissan Patrol, 1x Mitsubishi Pajero, 1x Chevrolet Tracker, 1x Toyota Sienna, 2x Toyota Hiace mini-van and 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 Mitsubishi Pajero, 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.
