From Svalbard and Jan Mayen to Cameroon
When travelling from Svalbard and Jan Mayen to Cameroon: Some of your Svalbard and Jan Mayen plug types fit in Cameroon (C). Bring a compact adapter for the others. Voltage matches at 230V, so a basic plug adapter is enough for most devices. Frequency is the same at 50Hz.
