Do I need to bring a travel adapter?
South Africa, along with many of its neighbouring countries, uses a 220V power supply, but plug types may differ from what you're used to at home. It's always a good idea to bring your own travel adapter, so you're prepared to charge your devices or use electrical appliances.
For South Africa, the recommended adapter is WA10L. If you're visiting northern Botswana, Zambia, or Zimbabwe, you'll need the WA7 adapter. In Kenya, the plugs use 240V power and a type G power socket, with square prongs similar to those used in the UK. Be sure to check the specifications of the places you plan to visit to ensure you're equipped with the correct adapter.
When travelling to Africa on safari, a travel adapter is essential to ensure your electronic devices can work with the local power outlets. We recommend you bring the right adapter before travelling, as local shops may not always carry the specific type you need.
To make it easier, we suggest checking out options on Amazon, where you can find universal travel adapters for various countries and power types. Bringing the right adapter ensures you'll have no issues charging your devices and can enjoy a hassle-free trip.
