Wandr Safety Rating:

C (Elevated Risk)

71/100

Ghana is relatively safe for travelers, but certain health precautions are essential. Malaria is a significant risk throughout the country, and yellow fever vaccination is required for entry. The CDC also recommends hepatitis A/B, typhoid, and routine vaccines. Healthcare in urban centers is available but may be limited in rural areas. Food and water precautions are important, and travel insurance that includes emergency evacuation is recommended for extended stays.
