Benin to Gambia: Complete Plug & Adapter Guide (2026) Adapter Needed

Heading from Benin to Gambia? Plug types and voltage standards differ between countries, so a little preparation goes a long way. Here's a breakdown of what to expect at the wall socket.

Benin uses Type C and E plugs, while Gambia uses Type G. Since there is no overlap, you will need a travel adapter to plug in your devices. Make sure to pick one up before your trip or at the airport.

The voltage and frequency in Gambia (230V, 50Hz) are close to Benin (220V, 50Hz), so your appliances should work without a converter.

When packing for Gambia, bring at least one adapter per room if you're traveling with others. Airport shops often sell them at a markup, so ordering one online beforehand saves money. A small power strip from home can also multiply a single adapter into several outlets.
