Zimbabwe at a glance
| Region | Africa |
|---|---|
| Power | Type D/G sockets, 220/380 V, 50 Hz |
On power, you are in luck: both British outlets and Zimbabwe's use Type D, so many of your chargers should fit as-is. Voltage differs too (220/380 V there versus 230/400 V at home), so check for a dual-voltage label before plugging in. Full plug and voltage guide for Zimbabwe.
