What do I need to know about power adaptors and electronics charging? | For Tanzania you’ll need type D plugs, which are the same ones that are used in the UK. Power is 230 V and the frequency is 50 Hz. Depending on where you come from, you might need an adaptor. There’s frequent power cuts and these can last an entire afternoon or longer so it’s a good idea to always keep your electronic devices charged and make sure you have a power bank and spare batteries. On safari there’s normally electricity available in the cars and at the accommodations. Depending on how fancy your accommodation is, you might have access to power in your room/tent or only in the common areas. On Kilimanjaro there’s a few options to charge your electronic devices but they’re very expensive. Keep in mind that due to the cold your batteries might run out quicker than normal. |
