Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe and Hoedspruit, Limpopo outlet adapters

[buckshot85]

Are there certain voltage converters and adapters needed for these areas in hotels?

What will you be wanting to charge? I typically only bring my phone and a battery bank. You don’t need a converter for those just an outlet adapter. South Africa and Zimbabwe have different outlets you will need to get both.

Charging phones, camera batteries, battery pack, my wife may want to bring a curling iron.

Charging phones, camera batteries, battery pack, my wife may want to bring a curling iron.

Curling iron needs to be multi-voltage (110 and 220). The rest should not be a problem as they already are multi voltage as they go through a USB adaptor.

Zimbabwe uses UK plugs, not sure about RSA. I usually bring a miniature power strip and one adaptor so I can just plug everything to the power strip. This is what I use, has multiple plugs and USB ports and a USB-C port. Takes care of every possibility.

If your wife can leave the curling iron at home you won’t need a converter. Here are some links I found searching with google.

Great stuff guys. Thanks.
And y’all can fight my wife over the curling iron. I’ve learned which battles to fight.

You have some great suggestions already.
Just check your devices can handle 220v.
eg.: Apple USB power adapters are designed for use with power sources rated to provide 100V AC to 240V AC at 50Hz to 60Hz.

Grab a plug adapter set and your ready to roll. Make sure you have enough plug adapters to manage all your devices.(especially that curling iron)
You will likely only be able to recharge in the evening.

Have fun.

Most all electronics are dual voltage. Ladies hair dryers etc are an issue. Get dual voltage on those.
you will want an international adapter. There are many to choose from.
