Travel Health Tips for Ghana
Practical tips to help you stay safe, healthy, and prepared throughout your trip.
Travel tip 1
- Yellow Fever certificate is strictly enforced at entry — you will not be admitted without it.
Travel tip 2
- Take anti-malarial tablets for the entire duration of your stay plus the completion period after returning.
Travel tip 3
- Use DEET repellent and sleep under treated mosquito nets — even in Accra.
Travel tip 4
- Drink only bottled or sachet water (the popular 'pure water' sachets are widely available and safe).
