What type of plug does your appliance have?
In Sierra Leone there's more than one socket type in use. You may require more than one adaptor.
Socket Type C
(Congo, Democratic Republic of the) to Plug Type D
(Sierra Leone)
Socket Type C
(Congo, Democratic Republic of the) to Plug Type G
(Sierra Leone)
In Sierra Leone there's more than one socket type in use.

Socket Type C
(Congo, Democratic Republic of the) to Plug Type G
(Sierra Leone)
Sierra Leone also uses Socket Type D, which is used in Congo, Democratic Republic of the. If using an appliance that has a Type D Plug in the Type D Sockets of Sierra Leone, you will not need an adaptor.
The voltages found in Congo, Democratic Republic of the (220V) and Sierra Leone (230V) are not exactly the same, but the difference is tolerable, so you should not need a transformer.
The frequency found in Congo, Democratic Republic of the and Sierra Leone is exactly the same (50Hz). Timing devices and appliances that use motors will function as expected under this frequency.
