'''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.'''

At the east end of the village is a cinema, showing mainly action films. The owner also recharges batteries against a fee.  {| class="imageTable"|-|colspan="3" | [[File:Ampokafo_019.jpg|600px]]|-|[[File:Ampokafo_020.jpg|196px]]|align="center"|[[File:Ampokafo_015.jpg|196px]]|align="right"|[[File:Ampokafo_014.jpg|196px]]|}
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.
