hi there
go to http://www.pettravel.com/passportnew.cfm all the information for travel to every country for pets is there. I travelled with my dog to Ghana and then left - returned to the USA and then took her to another 2 countries and it was very easy. I don't know where you are coming from so I cant tell you exactly how to do it, but Ghana is one of the easier countries. You simply have to do the paperwork. In terms of disease, you have to protect your animals against ticks with both tick collars ( the very strong ones made in France I think) as well as the flea / tick drops every month (frontline). My dog did get tickbite fever but i was not carefull i went walking in the bush and only did frontline and did not check her for ticks. The vets however saved her. The sicknesses that are prevalent such as malaria and tickbite fever - are very well treated in Ghana. They are also easy to prevent by doing the right thing. I taught and lived in Ghana for 3 years and they were fantastic. The banks work well. The people are friendly and want to help you in every possible way. Taxis will let you carry your animals in them. You will build lifelong relationships with the Ghanaian people and have a great african experience. As with every country there are frustrations ... that will just happen. Do you not have any in your own country?? But if you were to ask me which country to recommend in Africa I would say GHANA or South Africa.
Go for it.....
