Electricity in Africa is all 220 -240V/50Hz AC as is much of Europe, the UK, Australia and New Zealand and virtually all the Asian countries and India. Those of you from North America, where 110V/60Hz is the standard, will need both an adapter for the proper plug configuration and converter to step down to the lower current required by your electrical equipment.

Type C (European) - Two-prong round (unearthed)

Type F (Schuko plug) - Two-prong round (with 2 x earth contacts)

Type G (UK plug) - Three-prong rectangular

Type M (South African plug) - Three-prong round (large)

Type D, G and M plug sockets are the dominant plug types in Africa although some countries do offer the two prong round (Type C & F) plug socket types (see Table below). A number of hotels have international wall sockets which will take an array of both two-prong and three-prong plugs. North America and Japan use Type A & B plugs, and Australia a Type I plug - all will require an adaptor plug!
