You will need this adaptor:

Socket Type
(Bahrain)
to Plug Type D
(Zimbabwe)

Zimbabwe also uses Socket Type G, which is used in Bahrain. If using an appliance that has a Type G Plug in the Type G Sockets of Zimbabwe, you will not need an adaptor.

Considerations

Voltage

The voltages found in Bahrain (230V) and Zimbabwe (220V) are not exactly the same, but the difference is tolerable, so you should not need a transformer.

Good to know

Frequency of Electrical Current

The frequency found in Bahrain and Zimbabwe is exactly the same (50Hz). Timing devices and appliances that use motors will function as expected under this frequency.
