hi im looking for some info hubby myself and 1 teenager moving to Ghana in April\May need advice on Malaria prevention. Do we need to take medication? Also schools following english curriculum A'levels Thanks Hi penyfai Many expats there recommend GIS for best school. As i also mentioned in your previous post about malaria just buy Medi Soft it is a mosquito repellent. Smells nice too surprisingly. But it is so very cheap and you get it in most grocery shops there. Seriously not worth wasting your money on other brands 4 times or more the price. Just cover your bare ankles and arms if going out at night. The people are very friendly. Great expat community there too. It will be a great culture shock believe me but after all it is a third world country. Nice small bar is Robi's bar. Ghana can be quite expensive for groceries and eating out though etc. Hope some of that helps.:)

@ Penyfai : I'm from Ghana...and yes you need some sort of vaccination shot for Malaria. It is very much required...because that will be the first question the immigration officers at the airport would ask. dID YOU GET YOUR SHOT ?? I'm sorry to correct you Oleiz. The shot you are talking about is not for Malaria but for Yellow Fever. You must have this shot before they let you in. Once you get the shot here they give you a yellow card which is proof and to always keep with your passport.I used to staple ours inside our passports for safety. :)
