Cameroon to Burkina Faso: Complete Plug & Adapter Guide (2026) No Adapter Needed

Heading from Cameroon to Burkina Faso? 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.

Both Cameroon and Burkina Faso use Type C/E plugs, so your devices should plug right in. An adapter isn't strictly necessary for this trip.

The voltage and frequency in Burkina Faso (220V, 50Hz) are the same as Cameroon (220V, 50Hz), so your appliances should work without a converter.

Rather than packing bulky converters, consider buying travel-sized dual-voltage versions of appliances you can't live without. For phones and laptops, all you'll need is the right plug adapter since their chargers almost always support worldwide voltage.
