About Southern Africa, on travel
books they are mentioning mainly UK power sockets G type. But not only when you
are on the field, it is power sockets jungle.
South Africa has his own system, 3
round pin, M type, which is not compliant with any other type. Hopefully in
hotel room there is always at least one European (C) or one US (A) type power
socket. In Botswana, where we should find the UK type (G). No there is not,
well may be in some places, but it is mainly South African one (M), even in
trains. What to do, try to find out an adaptor somewhere. Hopefully there were
some at the small supermarket in Gaborone with standard European sockets (C and
F). Africa is not only a case. Come in Europe and you will be surprised by UK
(G) 3 square pin power sockets, Switzerland (J) and the 3 round power sockets
as Italy (L) with another kind of 3 round power sockets. What a mess ! Coming
back to Southern African, Zimbabwe is using the South African type. By the end
Zambia and Tanzania are using the UK one.
Oh, go to Australia, they have another
type that I can not describe ().
Conclusion, check as much as
possible what you need for your world destination and bring your special
adaptor bag with all you have in case of.
