There are number of recommended vaccinations when traveling to Ghana, your GP or pharmacist will be able to advise you. You are required to be vaccinated against Yellow Fever and you will be asked to show your yellow card when entering Ghana.

I take Malarone and have never suffered any side effects, a generic version of Malarone is available at Asda pharmacy at £1 per tablet, you will need to take one the day before you arrive, each day you are there and for 7 days when you return home.
It is also advisable to use insect repelant sprays and to wear long trousers and long sleeved tops, however be prepared for the heat .... It is hot!
