'''The village of Ampokafo is located along the old "smuggler's path" connecting Maroantsetra with Antalaha. Just next to the village is a river, ideal for bathing and washing as there is no running water in Ampokafo.'''
The village has several shops, a church and two very basic hotels, of which [[Hotel Esperante]] might be the better choice. At the east end of the village is a cinema, showing mainly action films. The owner also recharges batteries against a fee.
Ampokafo is not only an important resting stop for hikers crossing the [[Masoala|Masoala Peninsula]] from [[Maroantsetra]] to [[Antalaha]], also for hikers coming/going to [[Cap Est]] as the trail splits at the village.
