Cameroon to Tanzania: Complete Plug & Adapter Guide (2026) Adapter Needed
If you're heading to Tanzania from Cameroon, it's worth checking the power situation before you pack. Different countries use different outlet types and electrical standards, so your devices may not plug in directly when you arrive.
Cameroon uses Type C and E plugs, while Tanzania uses Type D and 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 Tanzania (230V, 50Hz) are close to 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.
