From French Polynesia to South Sudan
When travelling from French Polynesia to South Sudan: Some of your French Polynesia plug types fit in South Sudan (C). Bring a compact adapter for the others. Voltage matches at 230V, so a basic plug adapter is enough for most devices. Frequency differs (60Hz → 50Hz). Modern phone and laptop chargers are usually fine, but some clocks, motors, and appliances may behave incorrectly.

Availability
Mostly off-grid. Juba and a few towns have intermittent grid supply.
Sockets & hotels
Mix of Type C, D, and G.
Energy mix
Mostly off-grid; mini-grid solar growing.
Practical tips
- A universal adapter is essential because outlet types vary by building.
- A high-capacity power bank is essential because outages are routine.
- Voltage on generators can be unstable. Use a surge protector.
