FIRST, IN GENERAL:
Careful preparation for a tropical vacation is essential – including sensible health precautions when traveling to Ghana. However, in our experience, many vaccination recommendations and warnings about the dangers of the “dark continent” exaggerate the health risks.
If you get competent advice and follow a few (few) precautions, Africa is by no means “the white man’s grave.” If you practice sensible malaria prophylaxis , the risk of contracting malaria is quite manageable.
When applying for a visa, you must provide proof of yellow fever vaccination ; you may also need to have your polio and tetanus vaccinations updated.
