Madagascar to Tanzania: Complete Plug & Adapter Guide (2026) Adapter Needed

Heading from Madagascar 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 Madagascar plugs (Type C, E) 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 Madagascar (220V, 50Hz), so your appliances should work without a converter.

Rather than packing bulky converters, consider buying travel-sized dual-voltage versions of appliances you can't live without. For phones and laptops, all you'll need is the right plug adapter since their chargers almost always support worldwide voltage.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. Madagascar uses Type C/E plugs and Tanzania uses Type D/G. Since these are incompatible, you will need a travel adapter.
