Do I Need An Adapter For My Electronics in Rwanda?
Rwanda uses Type C and Type J electrical outlets with 230-volt electricity. Visitors from countries with different plug types or 110-volt systems will need adapters and possibly voltage converters.
Type C plugs (two round pins, European standard) are most common. A universal travel adapter is recommended to cover all possibilities.
Most modern electronics, including laptops, phone chargers, and camera batteries, are dual-voltage (110-240V) and require only a plug adapter. Check your device's power block for voltage compatibility before travel.
Luxury lodges typically provide adapters upon request and may have international outlet options. However, carrying your own adapter ensures convenience, particularly if charging multiple devices.
Power can be unreliable in remote areas. Premium lodges have backup generators, but bringing portable power banks for charging phones and cameras during activities is advisable.
