From Philippines to Mozambique
When travelling from Philippines to Mozambique: Some of your Philippines plug types fit in Mozambique (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.

About electricity in Mozambique
Mozambique uses 230V/50Hz with Type C, F, M, and N sockets.

Availability
Reliable in Maputo; rural areas variable.
Sockets & hotels
Mix of European Type C/F and Southern African Type M/N. Bring a universal adapter.
Energy mix
Hydro-dominated; major exporter.
Practical tips
- Universal adapter covering C, F, M, and N is safest.
- Voltage is the standard 230V, and modern chargers handle it without issue.
