Ethiopia to Tanzania: Complete Plug & Adapter Guide (2026) Adapter Needed
Heading from Ethiopia to Tanzania? Plug types and voltage standards differ between countries, so a little preparation goes a long way. Here's a breakdown of what to expect at the wall socket.
Your Ethiopia plugs (Type C, F) won't fit Tanzania's outlets (Type D, G). You'll want to grab a universal travel adapter or one specifically designed for Tanzania before you depart.
The voltage and frequency in Tanzania (230V, 50Hz) are close to Ethiopia (220V, 50Hz), so your appliances should work without a converter.
Don't forget that Tanzania hotel rooms sometimes have a universal shaver socket in the bathroom, but these low-wattage outlets aren't suitable for high-draw devices. For reliable charging, use the standard wall outlets with a proper adapter.
