Zimbabwe to Guinea-Bissau: Complete Plug & Adapter Guide (2026) Adapter Needed
Heading from Zimbabwe to Guinea-Bissau? 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.
Your Zimbabwe plugs (Type D, G) won't fit Guinea-Bissau's outlets (Type C). You'll want to grab a universal travel adapter or one specifically designed for Guinea-Bissau before you depart.
The voltage and frequency in Guinea-Bissau (220V, 50Hz) are close to Zimbabwe (230V, 50Hz), so your appliances should work without a converter.
Rather than packing bulky converters, consider buying travel-sized dual-voltage versions of appliances you can't live without. For phones and laptops, all you'll need is the right plug adapter since their chargers almost always support worldwide voltage.
