Electricity (Zimbabwe)

Zimbabwe operates on a standard electricity supply of 220 volts and a frequency of 50 Hz. The plugs used are typically type D and G, which feature three rectangular pins. If your devices have different plug types, you will need a suitable adapter to use them.

Most phone, tablet, and laptop chargers are designed to handle a range of voltages, but it’s always best to check the specifications on your devices to ensure compatibility. If you have appliances that are not compatible with the local voltage, you may need a voltage converter in addition to an adapter.

Adapters and converters can be found at electronics stores, supermarkets, and some duty-free shops in Zimbabwe. It’s advisable to purchase these before your trip, as they may not always be readily available in more remote areas. Ensuring you have the right equipment will help keep your devices powered during your travels.
