Zimbabwe to Mauritania: Complete Plug & Adapter Guide (2026) Adapter Needed

Planning a trip from Zimbabwe to Mauritania? One of the first things to sort out before you travel is whether your electronics will work at your destination. Power outlets, plug shapes, and voltage standards vary around the world, and Mauritania is no exception.

The plug types are different between these two countries. In Zimbabwe, outlets accept Type D/G, but in Mauritania you'll find Type C sockets. A travel plug adapter is essential for this trip.

On the voltage front, Zimbabwe (230V, 50Hz) and Mauritania (220V, 50Hz) are very similar. You shouldn't need a voltage converter for your electronics.

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. Zimbabwe uses Type D/G plugs and Mauritania uses Type C. Since these are incompatible, you will need a travel adapter.
