Travelling to South Africa from the UK? Don’t forget to pack a plug adapter!

South Africa uses a unique plug type, known as Type M, which can be challenging for travellers from the UK who are used to Type G plugs. Don’t worry, though – with the right adapter, you can charge all your devices without any hassle.

Here’s everything you need to know about buying a plug adapter for your South African adventure.

Types of plug adapters

There are two types of plug adapters you can choose from: a basic adapter or a universal adapter.

A basic adapter is designed to fit your UK plug into the South African socket. It’s a simple and inexpensive option that does the job, but it doesn’t have any additional features.

On the other hand, a universal adapter is a more versatile option that allows you to charge your devices in multiple countries. If you’re planning on doing more international travel, a universal adapter might be a better investment in the long run.

Compatibility with UK appliances

Before you buy a plug adapter, make sure to check the voltage and frequency of your UK appliances. South Africa uses 220-240 volts and 50Hz frequency, which is the same as the UK. Most modern electronics have a dual voltage system, which means they can handle both the UK and South African voltages. However, some appliances, such as hairdryers, may not be compatible. In that case, you’ll need to purchase a voltage converter as well.
