Are you planning to visit South Africa? Check if you need a power plug adapter or voltage converter for the power sockets (outlets) used in South Africa.
The following information is for travelers living in the United States of America. I live in another country.
- You need a power plug adapter in South Africa, when living in the United States of America.
- You also need a voltage converter.
- Be extra careful with certain appliances because of the difference in frequency.
In South Africa the power plug sockets are of type D, M and N. The standard voltage is 230 V and the frequency is 50 Hz.

USA is 120V 60 Hz
Most phones/laptops chargers are dual voltage/dual frequency.
Many plug in small appliances, like hair dryers, are not.
Check the labels.
