Cameroon to Uganda: Complete Plug & Adapter Guide (2026) Adapter Needed
Planning a trip from Cameroon to Uganda? One of the first things to sort out before you travel is whether your electronics will work at your destination. Power outlets, plug shapes, and voltage standards vary around the world, and Uganda is no exception.
The plug types are different between these two countries. In Cameroon, outlets accept Type C/E, but in Uganda you'll find Type G sockets. A travel plug adapter is essential for this trip.
On the voltage front, Cameroon (220V, 50Hz) and Uganda (240V, 50Hz) are very similar. You shouldn't need a voltage converter for your electronics.
When packing for Uganda, 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.
