Tanzania to Uganda: Complete Plug & Adapter Guide (2026) Adapter Needed

Getting ready for your journey from Tanzania to Uganda? Electrical compatibility is easy to overlook, but bringing the wrong plug or forgetting an adapter can leave you scrambling at your hotel. Here's what you need to know.

Since Tanzania and Uganda both support Type G plugs, you can use your chargers and appliances without a travel adapter. One less thing to worry about.

The voltage and frequency in Uganda (240V, 50Hz) are close to Tanzania (230V, 50Hz), so your appliances should work without a converter.

Most modern phone chargers, laptop adapters, and camera chargers are designed to handle 100-240V input, so they'll work anywhere with just a plug adapter. Heat-producing appliances like hair dryers and flat irons are often single-voltage, so check before you plug them in abroad.
