Zimbabwe to Madagascar: Complete Plug & Adapter Guide (2026) Adapter Needed
If you're heading to Madagascar from Zimbabwe, 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.
Your Zimbabwe plugs (Type D, G) won't fit Madagascar's outlets (Type C, E). You'll want to grab a universal travel adapter or one specifically designed for Madagascar before you depart.
The voltage and frequency in Madagascar (220V, 50Hz) are close to Zimbabwe (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 Madagascar specifically, look for one that supports Type C/E outlets. USB charging ports built into the adapter are a nice bonus.
