From Cook Islands to Uganda
When travelling from Cook Islands to Uganda: None of your Cook Islands plug types fit in Uganda. You will need a travel adapter. Voltage matches at 240V, so a basic plug adapter is enough for most devices. Frequency is the same at 50Hz.

About electricity in Uganda
Uganda is 240V/50Hz and predominantly uses Type G sockets.
Grid & history
Primarily hydropower (Karuma, Bujagali, Owen Falls) with growing solar; rural electrification is ongoing under Uganda’s Vision 2040 plan.
Availability
Power is reliable in Kampala and Entebbe. Smaller towns and rural areas see occasional outages, and hotels often have generator backup.
Sockets & hotels
Type G (UK-style) is the standard everywhere. Bring a reliable adapter, cheap ones tend to fail.
Energy mix
Hydro dominates; some thermal backup.
Practical tips
- A medium power bank is handy for long bus rides and safari days.
- Voltage is stable in cities but can fluctuate during outages. Use a surge-protected charger if you can.
