From Honduras to Tanzania
When travelling from Honduras to Tanzania: None of your Honduras plug types fit in Tanzania. You will need a travel adapter. Voltage is different (120V → 230V). Check your charger label; if it doesn’t list 230V you’ll also need a voltage converter. Frequency differs (60Hz → 50Hz). Modern phone and laptop chargers are usually fine, but some clocks, motors, and appliances may behave incorrectly.

About electricity in Tanzania
Tanzania uses 230V/50Hz with Type G sockets, the UK-style three-pin standard.
Grid & history
TANESCO operates the national grid, which is hydro-heavy (Nyumba ya Mungu, Kihansi) with gas backup. The new Julius Nyerere Hydropower Project on the Rufiji River is significantly expanding capacity.
Availability
Reliable in Dar es Salaam, Arusha, and Zanzibar. Rural areas and Zanzibar after storms can see longer outages.
Sockets & hotels
Type G is standard in modern buildings and hotels.
Energy mix
Hydropower is the largest source.
Practical tips
- A Type G adapter is essential for any non-UK plug.
- Bring a power bank for safari and Zanzibar power dips.
- Voltage is the standard 230V, and modern chargers handle it without issue.
Frequently asked questions
- Will my Honduras plug work in Tanzania?
- No. None of your Honduras plugs (Type A, Type B) fit in Tanzania sockets (Type G), so you will need a travel adapter.
- What plug type does Tanzania use?
- Tanzania uses Type G. The supply is 230V at 50Hz.
- Do I need a voltage converter for Tanzania when travelling from Honduras?
- Tanzania runs on 230V, while Honduras uses 120V. Check your charger label for a 100 to 240V rating; if it does not list 230V you will also need a voltage converter.
- Is the electrical frequency in Tanzania the same as Honduras?
- Frequency in Tanzania is 50Hz, while Honduras uses 60Hz. Modern phone and laptop chargers handle either, but clocks, motors, and some heating appliances may behave incorrectly.
