Rwanda to Gambia: Complete Plug & Adapter Guide (2026) Adapter Needed
If you're heading to Gambia from Rwanda, 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.
Rwanda uses Type C and J 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 the same as Rwanda (230V, 50Hz), so your appliances should work without a converter.
Don't forget that Gambia hotel rooms sometimes have a universal shaver socket in the bathroom, but these low-wattage outlets aren't suitable for high-draw devices. For reliable charging, use the standard wall outlets with a proper adapter.
