If you're traveling from the US, Canada, or continental Europe, pack appropriate adapter plugs. Universal travel adapters that accommodate multiple plug types are convenient for multi-country trips.
Voltage in Uganda (240V) differs from North America (120V). Most modern electronics (phone chargers, laptop adapters, camera chargers) are dual-voltage (100-240V) and work safely with just a plug adapter. Check your devices' labels to confirm.
Devices that are not dual-voltage (older hair dryers, some electric razors, American appliances) require voltage converters or may be damaged. Consider leaving single-voltage items at home.
Safari lodges typically have charging facilities, though electricity may be from generators with limited hours in some locations. A portable power bank ensures you can charge devices even without mains power.
