For convenience, catch a taxi to any destination. They are mostly red and yellow saloon cars. They are also very cheap.

You could charter the taxi to different destinations; in this case you will have the whole cab to yourself. In this circumstance, a passenger is advised to make a proper bargain before boarding the taxi.

You could have the taxi drop you at a particular destination “dropping”. A passenger is again advised to agree on a destination and the fare before boarding the taxi. Once again you’ll have the whole cab to yourself.

The last taxi errand is where it runs from station to station. In this case however, a fixed rate and destination is already established. The car will be occupied by all five passengers including the driver.

The only ferry that runs the Volta Lake (the largest artificial lake in the world) is the Yapei Queen. The ferry normally conveys foodstuffs, especially yams from the north, Yeji, to the south, Akosombo. It also carries people and cattle. It has three first class cabins which is more comfortable and costs almost US$22 for a trip. Modern facilities like air conditioner, shower and toilet are available but shared with the crew and still in clean and tidy condition.

To feel the comfort among the crowd you need to book a berth by calling the ferry company in the tourist office of Accra which Ourghana.com does on request.

The ferry leaves akosombo usually on Monday and reaches Yeju after 24 hours.

Come on; explore the leisure and the scenery of the Volta Lake and who knows you could get lucky to visit the captain’s bridge. Meet some of the most hospitable people on earth, the friendly faces of the crew.
