Checking plug and voltage compatibility
Power adapter compatibility check for traveling from United Kingdom to Uganda
Plug types are compatible - no adapter needed. β Voltage is compatible (230V β 240V)
United Kingdom
230V
Uganda
240V
Yes! Your Type G plugs from United Kingdom will fit directly into Uganda's sockets. No adapter needed.
The voltage in Uganda is 240V. This is higher than United Kingdom's 230V. Check if your device supports dual voltage (100-240V).
No, you don't need a voltage converter. The voltage difference (230V to 240V) is safe for most modern devices, especially laptops, phones, and chargers which typically support 100-240V dual voltage.
Uganda uses Type G sockets. You will see these socket types in hotels, airports, and public places throughout the country.
Yes, most modern electronics (iPhones, laptops, tablets, cameras) are dual-voltage (110V-240V), so they will work in Uganda. Since Uganda uses 240V (within the 100-240V range), your device will work fine. No plug adapter is needed.
You can buy a Type G travel adapter online (Amazon, eBay) or at the airport. Look for adapters specifically designed for Uganda or universal adapters that include Type G. Check our Amazon link above for the best options.
If your plugs fit, you're good to go! However, if the voltage is different and your device isn't dual-voltage, you could damage your device. Always check your device label.
