Democratic Republic of the Congo Travel Adapters
The Democratic Republic of the Congo (formally Zaire) is a large country in Central Africa bordered by the Republic of the Congo, the Central African Republic, South Sudan, Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi, Tanzania, Zambia, and Angola, with a short coastline along the Atlantic Ocean. The capital city is Kinshasa, located along the Congo River opposite Brazzaville, the capital of the neighboring Republic of the Congo. The country contains vast rainforests, major river systems, and abundant natural resources within the Congo Basin.
The Democratic Republic of the Congo uses mains electricity supplied at about 220–230 volts at 50 Hz. Wall outlets use Type C and Type E sockets. Travelers from regions that use different plug types should bring a compatible travel adapter. Visitors should confirm that their electronic devices support 100–240V input or use an appropriate voltage converter if necessary.
