From Wallis and Futuna to Tanzania
When travelling from Wallis and Futuna to Tanzania: None of your Wallis and Futuna plug types fit in Tanzania. You will need a travel adapter. Voltage matches at 230V, so a basic plug adapter is enough for most devices. Frequency is the same at 50Hz.

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.
