Samoa to Madagascar: Complete Plug & Adapter Guide (2026) Adapter Needed
Traveling from Samoa to Madagascar means crossing into a different electrical system. Before you leave, take a moment to understand the plug types and voltage used in Madagascar so you can keep all your devices charged and ready.
The plug types are different between these two countries. In Samoa, outlets accept Type I, but in Madagascar you'll find Type C/E sockets. A travel plug adapter is essential for this trip.
On the voltage front, Samoa (230V, 50Hz) and Madagascar (220V, 50Hz) are very similar. You shouldn't need a voltage converter for your electronics.
When packing for Madagascar, 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.
