Rwanda to Kenya: Complete Plug & Adapter Guide (2026) Adapter Needed

Heading from Rwanda to Kenya? 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.

Rwanda uses Type C and J plugs, while Kenya 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 Kenya (240V, 50Hz) are close to Rwanda (230V, 50Hz), so your appliances should work without a converter.

A universal travel adapter with multiple plug configurations is a smart investment if you travel frequently. For Kenya specifically, look for one that supports Type G outlets. USB charging ports built into the adapter are a nice bonus.

Frequently Asked Questions
