West Africa is probably the one place on earth where you should protect yourself in every way from mosquitoes. Do not sleep without a net and do not go without malaria-medicine.
Also you need a yellow-fever vaccination to enter most (if not all) of these countries.
Remember to check all of your other vaccinations because many other might be necessary (meningitis, typhus, cholera, rabies).
