The table below summarises the plug types, voltage and frequency of electrical current in both Gambia and Zimbabwe.
| Gambia | Zimbabwe | |
|---|---|---|
| Plug Types | G | D, G |
| Voltage | 230V | 220V |
| Frequency of electrical current | 50Hz | 50Hz |
Gambia uses Plug Type G.
In Zimbabwe there's more than one socket type in use.
You will need this adaptor:
Socket Type
(Gambia) to Plug Type D
(Zimbabwe)
Zimbabwe also uses Socket Type G, which is used in Gambia. If using an appliance that has a Type G Plug in the Type G Sockets of Zimbabwe, you will not need an adaptor.
The voltages found in Gambia (230V) and Zimbabwe (220V) are not exactly the same, but the difference is tolerable, so you should not need a transformer.
The frequency found in Gambia and Zimbabwe is exactly the same (50Hz). Timing devices and appliances that use motors will function as expected under this frequency.
