Malaria is still very dangerous in Ghana and a lot of people die every year because of this infection.
If you come to Ghana, particularly from May to October, during the raining season, don't forget your malaria tablets.
Consult a tropical practitionner, because the malaria infection creates new defenses every year and one medication valid one year can be obsolete the year after.
The best is prevention, after 5PM, always wear clear clothes and be fully covered, especially legs and feet, use strong mosquito repellants.
Be aware that there is no 100% safe anti-malaria tablet, so never take the strongest because if you yet get malaria, there is nothing stronger.
In Ghana, there is a good medecine called HALFAN 90,000 cedis in all pharmacies. This cares you the three-four first times you get malaria, after you must choose another one.
After fever is gone, two-three days later, take a lot of vitamines and don't eat fat, don't drinl alcohol during at least 15 days. Don't do anything that can give difficulties to your lever.
The you can recover fast.
You perhaps have malaria if you feel:
- throat pain like a serious flu
- body pain and tired
- headache like BP down
Fever comes a little bit later but if you feel you have malaria, go to the hospital and make a test, if not possible take tablets.
Not caring maliara is very dangerous and you can die. Leave a Comment

At local markets, in chop bars and along the road.
Use your brains and don’t buy it if it’s possible, otherwise you support the killing of wild animals.
Sometimes it’s easier to find animals along the road, than in the wild.
-Monkeys
-Snake
-Grascutter
-Antelope

 Car problems, but there’s
always a solution by Wafro
That's mainly because of the cultural differences and than you'll have to control yourself.
Ghanaian our relaxed and polite people and you'll lose all your credits when you become angry and aggressive.
SO RELAX AND GO WITH THE FLOW. Leave a Comment

Now that many forests have been cleared, the export of tropical hardwood has declined.
But you can still see the trucks loaded with big logs driving around the southern part of the country. Leave a Comment

Swimming under the hot sun of Ghana is very nice, however don't do it any where.
It is always better to go in the swimming pools.
Rivers and lakes: be careful, a lot of rivers have billiardhozis.
Sea: the waves and particuklarly the subwaves can be very dangerous. never swim where it is not allowed and monitored. Leave a Comment

You think if you protect your money and your expensive goods, you won't have problem.
In fact, everything has a value, even your business card.
People can steal or ask you your business card. They sell it to a 419er or a Nigerian scammer, who is going to write to you and tell he has millions dollars to share with you.
So, be careful when you give a business card and do like for your cheques: number them and know to whom you are giving them. Leave a Comment

You may think that once you are in the middle of a quiet road any onciming vehicle will slow down and let you pass, right? UH-uh, wrong!
As far as some of these drivers are concerned, the road is for vehicles. therefore if you happen to get hurt while they are in the road, that's your business!
This isn't an exaggeration. I was crossing a road once, there road was clear till I got to the middle of the road. Then this car comes speeding round he corner beepign his horn and the driver motions for ME to get out of his way!
Another time, my Dad and I were on a zebra crossing Osu (honestly, those things are just there for deocration!) when these two guys come past on a moped and shout and insult us. They sped past, just inches from my dad's face!
Granted, not all drivers are like this, but be careful! Leave a Comment

Sometimes the children will ask for your used water bottle. This is OK to give, as long as there are not two water bottles and fifty children, as it will cause a fight.
The older children and adults are more crafty in their approach, and will make friendly opening questions such as ‘where are you from?’, ‘what’s your name?’ etc, but the end result is usually the same: a request for a gift or some money. By all means engage in conversation - some of my best memories from Ghana are talking to the local people - most of them will happily continue talking to you even if you don’t give them anything.

Many places in urban Ghana can be crowded to the extreme and you could very easily fall victim to pick-pockets. Although Ghana is not a dangerous place per se, take care of your belongings - don’t leave wallets sticking out of your back pocket for instance. It only takes one bad apple to seize the opportunity and then disappear in the crowd. You’d have no chance of following or ever finding them again. Leave a Comment
