How Africa changes a travel power plan

South Africa has Type M and Type N among its listed families; East African and island destinations often show Type G or other formats. Northern African destinations commonly include C/E/F references. The country-level list does not prove that one hotel socket supports every listed type.

Evidence check: 1 of 8 destination profiles in this region are marked review required. That flag calls for a local or facility confirmation; the remaining profiles are also references rather than measurements of room outlets.

For a US departure, a 120V-only appliance cannot be cleared by finding a familiar plug. Compare its exact INPUT range with every stop and use the multi-country kit planner for a conservative union of possible connector types.

How to use these pages

Compare each destination separately. Shared geography does not imply shared outlets, grounding or supply. Ask your accommodation about the exact outlet.
